DANGERS TO THE EYESIGHT 69 



If the doctor says that you have any sort of eye 

 disease, you must be as careful as possible about two 

 things. 



1. Don't rub your eyes with your hands. 



2. If you have put your hands to your 

 eyes, don't touch anything that other people 

 may touch afterwards until after you have 

 washed your hands. 



If others have sore eyes and you want to escape, be 

 careful about two things. 



1 . Never touch anything they have touched. 



2. If you have touched those things, keep 

 your hands away from your own eyes after- 

 wards.
