SYMPTOMS OF SHORT-SIGHTEDNESS

It is evidence of short-sightedness when a man rubs out with his nose what he has written with the pen. So, too, when a young lady at her needle-work pierces the end of her nose with her needle, the presumption is strong that she is short-sighted. But when a young gentleman 'with spectacles on nose,' stumbles over a post, or runs against a person whom he cannot recognise with removing his glasses, his short-sightedness may well be questioned.
