"Rub the Well Eye."
How to treat an eye with a' cinder in it is thus explained by a correspondent in a medical contemporary Nine persons out of every ten with a cinder or any foreign substance in the eye will instantly begin to rub the eye with one hand, while hunting for their handkerchief with the other. They may, and sometimes do, remove the offending cinder;but more i'reqafatly they rub until the eye becomes iiSfttmed, bind the handkerchief around the head and go to bed, This is all wioiflk The better way is not to rub the snvith the cinder in it, but rub the other eye as vigorously as you like. A few years since I was riding on an engine. The engineer threw open the front window, and I caught a cinder that gave me the most excrutiating pain, I began to rub the eye with both hands. " Let that eye alone, and rah the other eye (thisirom the engineer). I know your doctors think you know it all,.but ifyou millet that eye alone and rub the other one, the cinder will be out in two minutes," persisted the Engineer. I began to rub the other eye, and soon I felt the cinder down near the inner canthus, and made to take it out. " Let it alone, and keep at the well eye," shouted the doctor pro tem. I did so for a minute longer, and, looking in a small glass lie gave me, I found the offender on my cheek. Since then I have tried it and have advised many othAandl have never known it to fail m one instance (unless it was as sharp as a bit of steel, or something that cuts into the ball, and requires a&pperation to remove it). Why it is g.m'do not know, but that it is so I do know, and that one may be saved much suffering if they will let tho injured eyo alone, and rub the well eye.
