THE BLIND AND THE MUTIL ATED
1
By Dr. ESTHER LOVEJOY
IN the years to come this war will prove a blessing to the
blind. A new world is being evolved. Nuturehasat least
one extraordinary sense in reserve for those who lose any
of the five ordinary senses. The blind feel things that are not
within reach. They are conscious of vibrations that are not
perceptible to seeing men.
The sightless learn to read ven quickly by the Braille
method. It is interesting to watch the face of t blind man
as hLs fingers pass over the upraised dots ot a Braille book
and his mind perceives the mysteries recorded there for him
They have special stenographic machines and special print
ing presses. Books and magazines are translated into he
written language of the sightless.
Men blinded in battle are acquiring great skill in the
textile arts, as moulders, and in other industries where
highly developed sense of touch is essential to good work
The higher type of blind men have great persons!
charm Their souls seem nearer the surface. They are i
culiarly beloved people, and theii clairvoyance makes tie n
conscious of the kindness and affection with which they an
regarded. Naturally they react to it. Perhaps that is win
they usually seem so happy and cheerful.
Unfortunately there are forms of mutilation which
have the opposite effect. When a man knows that he is r<
pulsive to every man, woman and child who Looks upon him;
when he shrinks from the reflection of his own disfigured
face in the mirror, and shudders at the strange sound of his
own voice, he wants to die.
A great deal is being done for these mutilated men.
They are being refitted writh arms and legs. Plastic surgery
is doing its part, too, in the way of restoring palates, teeth
and facial contour, and the American Kcd Cross in Paris is
attempting to make life more livable for them by providing
masks which restore their original features. They will be
useful members of society, but the,soul of man craves more
than service. Life and liberty are precious possessions, but
the pursuit of happiness is the dearest right of man. We are
all alike. We want to go through life with the sweet illusion
that the blue bird of happiness is just within reach, and this
illusion is almost impossible to the disfigured man.
It is the sacred duty ot all those who have been bene
fited by their sacrifice to leave nothing undone to restore
their usefulness; to employ every art to increase their men
tal and physical powers and the charm of personalities, to
the end that their lives may be enriched rather than impov
erished by the fortunes of war.

Everyone* has uric acid in the system,
but mm; ally in small quantities. Ex
cessive amount is caused by eating too
much m at and foods that ferment in
stomach. The kidneys, being the filters
of the blood, are supposed to separate
and throw the poisons out of the system.
Weak, tired and overworked kidneys
fail to do this, hence the urie acid accu
mulates and the urate salts are carried
bv the blood to the solid tissue structui ■,
causing backache, lumbago, rheuma
tism, dropsy, drowsiness and tired
feeling.
To overcome the trouble is urn .
matter of toning up the kidneys, and this
is best done by a treatment with Aimrie,
three times a day. Amine is ,i i ecu,
discovery of Dr. Pierce of Iluffalo, N Y.,
and can be obtained at any drug store.
Experience taught Doctor Piere ■ that
Anuric is a more powerful ag. nt than
lithia in dissolving uric acid, and it is
then carried out of tire system.
