This Eye III Is Based On The Dandruff Theory

By H. N. BUNDESEN, M.D.

the

FOR many years chronic blepharitis has been known one of the most common of the disorders of the eye. In this

of condition, the margins lida become red and Inflamed; there is scaling of the tissues, and the lashes often become loose.

A good many theories as to cause of this condition have been advanced but none hos been established. Recently, it was suggested that the germ ovale, known as pltyrosporum which also caused dandruff, may be responsible.

A

Scalp and Eydlids treatment based on this idea has been successfully car- ried out by treating the scalp and the eyelids at the same time. It not only aims at get- ting rid of the dandruff, but also utilises the healing effects of Vitamin A.

First of all, the head is wash- ed every four or five days, us- ing tincture of green soap, fol- lowed by any good shampoo or вопр

The water and shampoo ure not allowed to run down over the face and eyelids. The hair is covered when taking a shower bath, and is also covered

with a clean cap at night. The hair is not combed or brushed The hands are over the face. kept away from the eyelids un- less they are frat completely scrubbed. The edges of the Eds are cleansed each day with " piece 點

of cotton soaked in a solution of boric acid or a mild sliver preparation The loose eyelashes are removed.

A mild antiseptic ointment containing mercury is then ap- plied. A penicillin ointment may be used if there some secon- dary infection or when there are ulcers.

Eyebrows Infected The eyebrows, too, are quently infected, and they are treated in the same way as the scalp.

of vitamin Capsules

A are taken dally.

Of course, the general health also should receive attention, and any infections in the teeth, tonsils, sinuses, or elsewhere in the body should be eliminated.

After three or four weeks of this treatment, the use of the antiseptic ointments may be dis- continued. The vitamin A and frequent hair washings are con- tinued Indefinitely.

Of Lipstick

FIND YOURSELF three favourite lipstick shades instead of Whether you've found that blue-reds, orange-reds or true- redn are best for you, and bright or delicate tones most flatter- ing, you'll find that the shade that does the moot for you in the bright light of day is not the most flattering shade you could pick for artificial light.

No matter what is your colour, choose a lipstick with a sug- gestion of blue in its hue, for evening: Unless your lipstick has a hint of blue in its make-up it will fade out under artificial light. Even a definite coral shade may be found in an evening version, the blue tone scarcely perceptible, but there to defy the bright lights, nevertheless.

ON THE BLue side

On the other band, if you're the type that looks best with a lipstick whose spd is on the blue side, choose one that is un- mistakably blue toned for evening, and one that is very much less so for day-wear. Too much blue in lipstick colour gives a ghastly effect under the bright sun.

In general, a slightly paler tone is beat for day-wear and bright, clear colour for evening when you dare a little more make-up, deeper eye shadow and a heavier hand with mascara brush.

And, for the day that you feel you're not looking your best, when your tweed seems dull, your nice gray suit looks drab to you, or your mavy blue or black seems to do less than nothing for you, reach for your spare-the really brilliant true-red lip- stick, that will give you the Ho you need.

You will, no doubt, delig in an after-the-bath lotion that will make your skin soft and smooth. Friction it in well.

APPLY A CREAM

To do a grand job, wash your face first, dry gently and ap- ply a cream which your skin will lap up and will be all the whiter and softer for it. The combination of cream and steamy atmosphere will do a grand renovating job.

To play safe against the baneful B.O. use a deterrent or deodorant in the armpits after you have had a brisk rub down and used your fragrant bath totlon,

as the season gets under way. Is to check for nah trays and coasters. We lay in a goodly supply, and choose those nice. big. non-tip, snuff-out-the-bult ashtrays. They cost more, but are well worth it in preventing furniture and table linen burns. We place protective felt pads under vases, lamps, radios, un- der anything that is likely to scratch or mar wood surfaces. Then we stock up with a wax or wax-containing polish, plenty of special dust cloths, and hope for the beat.
