A very simple aud eitectivo cure is within the reaoh of evety one, and would prevent much suLeriDg and expense w-ora it generally known. it ia simply one or two grains of flax seedThese may be phoed in the eye without injury or pain to that delicate or^an, and shortly they begin to swell and dissolve a glutinoua substance that covera the ball of the eye, enveloping any foreign substance that may be in it. The irritation of catting the membrane iathii3 prevented, and the annoyance may soon be washed out. A dozen of these stowed away in the vtst pocket may prove in an emergency worth their number in gold.
