"Column" "Seeker" wishes to know a cure
for bung eyes. Prevention is hotter than
euro, and the best preventive" is to_ securo
a good salary and live -in the city, A
cocky desires nothing moro than this, but-
ha longs, for it when he ia driving a har-
vester in tho field in the sun with tho
thermometer over 100 in Clio shade, clouds
of dust blowing, and horde:* of flics paster
ing him, ca he bumps over ditches washed
out by ihe heavy winter rains. Oh, it's a
glorious life farming, a perennial picnic, ".o
why bother about au iiicidohtal like bung
fives ?
i'M-H-" writes :-"Seeker" wants a remedy }
f for bung eyes. I hare tried different re- (
j medies, but the test is the blue bag (wash-
ing blue) as soon as the eye is stung. Wet
i tho blue bag and apply lo where the eye ]
ia stung. I don't think it hurts thc eye- j
I 6ight. I have three children, and if a fly j
i stings them, they come in at once for the '
! blue bag lt stops the swelling at once, end
it seems to take all the pain away i
"Reader," Beria, writes :-I always use
I a nob of blue for my little girl's eyes when
I ever Ä fly bites her. I rab the bite willi
the damp blue bag, and tho swelling goes
dowu very quickly. I ' leave the blue ca
j till all the swelling goos away- If put on
S6 soon as the fly bites it will not swell at
j all. The blue appears to kill the poison
that the fly or other insects leave- Bung
eyes were very bad up here last year. Í
I always use the blue, .and tell anyone else
that has a bung eye, it is a sure cure, and
I your readers need not be afraid to use it
Camphorated oil is also good but much
«lower in taking the swelling down- We
I were taught in school to use the blue bag for
stings and bees. etc.
