WHEN I was quite young I had the measles which settled in my eyes, and for six months I was blind. I was under the treatment of the best oculists, and after six months I recovered the sight of one eye, but not enough to return to school and finish my education or read any at all.
A few years later I married. A little girl was born with eyes that could hardly bear the light; we had them treated by the best skill, but they grew worse as she grew older.
After the birth of my child I found myself an invalid. The sight of the one eye grew dimmer until at times I could not distinguish persons. I tried many physicians that were recommended; for seven years I suffered and saw my child suffer without relief.
