Blindness Resulting From
Measles and Scarlet Fever
Measles and scarlet fever
are two of the diseases of
childhood which often cause
defective vision or blindness.
Few parents realize that
during the progress of these
diseases the eyes of the pa
tients may develop serious ul
cers or purulent condition.
Vvhich, unless skillfully treat
ed, may leave a white film
over the sight of the eye and
cause blindness. Even skill
ed treatment is not always
able to prevent this result. The
eyes should be cleansed daily
with a warm solution of bor
acic acid and the patient’s
room should be darkened.
Oculists w7ho see the cloud
ed eyes resulting from measles
and scarlet fever, but usual
ly at too late a time to prevent
their becoming blind eyes, feel
that the necessity for the care
01 the eyes during measles and
scarlet fever is so important
that they have requested the
health officers, during epidem
ics of these diseases to distri
bute circulars calling atten
tion to the danger of these
diseases to the eyes and giving
instruction for the care of the
e es which may prevent this
dangerous condition.
It is equally important that
care should be given the con
dition of the eyes, while the
child is recovering from these
diseases, as the eyes are still
weak and much permanent in
jury may be done them if they
are exposed to too strong light
or if the child is allowed to use
them for reading or for the
usual pastimes of cutting and
coloring pictures.
A great deal of rest to the
eyes at this time wrill prove an
investment in good eyesight
for later years.

OUR SERVICE
r~
AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
YOU CAN AVOID COSTLY
BUYING MISTAKES
Instead of Buying Blindly from Pictures in a Catalogue You
Can See the Real Implement
Before You Buy
i
!
I
This is the best year you
ever saw to buy good imple
ments, and the worst you ever*
saw to buy poor ones.
Crop prices are sure to be
high. All that you will have
to do to make big money will
be to raise big crops. And
getting big crops will depend
largely upon the kind of im
plements you use.
You can’t afford to risk any
implement uncertainty. In
ferior implements will mean
the loss of the extra bushels
and tons that the use of good
implements gives. Remember,
the extra bushels and extra
tons will mean a lot this year
—much more than enough to
pay for good implements.
See before you buy.
Be sure that an implement is
what you want before you let
it work for you. Avoid the ex
pensive delays of sending an
unsatisfactory implement back
to some distant concern and
getting in exchange another of
unknown quality.
Our service prevents costly
buying mistakes on your part.
You can come to our store—
take full advantage of our
stock, study the implements,
get fully acquainted with their
every feature, and buy judici
ously.
That way of buying will
help you get the most from the
year that is coming.
Drop in the next time you
are in town and see our stock.
