A disease called glaucoma
causes more than 12 percent of
all blindness.
According to estimate, one out
of every 50 persons over age 40
has the disease.
One of the worst things about
glaucoma is that, like the allegoric-
al robber in the night, it can rob
you of sight—without warning,
without pain.
You can watch for certain danger
•signs of chronic glaucoma—a more
common form of the disease than
acute glaucoma.
Frequent changes of glasses,
none of which are satisfactory; in-
ability to adjust the eyes to dark-
ened rooms, such as theaters; loss
of side vision; blurred or foggy
vision; and rainbow-like halos
around lights are often signs of
warning.
Acute glaucoma, on the other
hand, strikes suddenly, causing
cloudy vision, with or without se-
vere pain in and around the eyes.
Glaucoma's cause is not yet
known. How it destroys sight is
known. Mysteriously, the pressure
in the eyeball increases and glau-
coma literally squeezes the sight
out of your eyes.
Normally, the eye is filled with
fluid. It is constantly forming and
draining. When something happens
to interfere with this drainage,
the fluid cannot get out, and press-
ure begins to build up inside the
eyeball.
No one knows how to prevent
glaucoma, but it can be detected by
a simple painless Lest your doctor
can perform.
The best defense against the dis-
ease is to have a thorough eye ex-
amination at least once every two
years, especially if you are 40 or
over.
If it is discovered in the early
stages, progress of the disease us-
ually can be checked and the re-
maining vision saved through treat -
ment. Once it has been discovered,
glaucoma can be controlled by reg-
ular use of eye drops to reduce
pressure, or, sometimes by surgery.
Anyone of any age could have
glaucoma, but it is more common
among persons over 40. And, if a
parent, brother or sister has had
the disease, your ofcances are slight-
ly increased, too.
An extravagance is anything you
buy that is of no earthly use to
your wife.

Pharmacies deal in some products
which can only be described as inti-
mate. Some people are often self-con-
scious about mentioning such needs.
They shouldn't be. As professional
pharmacists, we are trained in these
confidential aspects of customer serv-
ice. And we subscribe to a code of
cthics which, in its way, is comparable
to that of your physician.

Want a little lighter housekeeping?
We dan't say an electric rang# takes
all the work out of the kitchen. But we
can say, in perfect truth, it lightens the
load considerably. Because there is no
sooty comhusfrion, kitchens are easier to
clean and stay clean longer. Pot serub-
bi*g is eut to a minimum. Reliable,
easy-to-set, automatic controls can be a
blessing when everything seems to
happen at once. Stif! another summer
benefit: an electa-ie range releases less
heat into the kitchen, saving you money
if you have air conditioning. And even
without air conditioning, who wouldn't
'.ike a cooler kitchen this summer?
