TEARFUL.—You have a serious disease of your eye. In all probability the
tube which conveys the tears from the eye into the nose is blocked. Go
to a surgeon _at once_ and have the eye seen to. At present a trivial
operation will cure you, but if you wait many months you will probably
lose the use of your eye.
MERCIA.—Anæmia or indigestion or both are causing your symptom. Of
course it may be due to chest disease, but it is exceedingly unlikely.
We cannot here repeat the treatment for these conditions. We have
done so times without number during the last two years. The answers
to correspondents in back numbers of this paper will tell you all you
require.
RULES.
I. No charge is made for answering questions.
II. All correspondents to give initials or pseudonym.
III. The Editor reserves the right of declining to reply to any of the
questions.
IV. No direct answers can be sent by the Editor through the post.
V. No more than two questions may be asked in one letter, which must be
addressed to the Editor of “The Girl’s Own Paper,” 56, Paternoster Row,
London, E C.
VI. No addresses of firms, tradesmen, or any other matter of the nature
of an advertisement will be inserted.
STUDY AND STUDIO.
CHICKWEED.—1. For the London B.A. you must pass the Matriculation,
Intermediate B.A., and Final B.A. in separate years. Apply for all
information as to fees and subjects, Registrar, University of London,
Burlington Gardens, W. There is no limit of age. We presume the London
B.A. would serve your purpose better than that of the University of
Ireland or University of Durham, but you can obtain particulars from
all three.—2. Your handwriting is good and clear; if you always take
pains and never scribble, it will be an excellent hand.
A DAUGHTER OF TERRA NOVA.—Many thanks for your bright letter. We
are glad to find our magazine has warm friends so far away.—1. Your
writing is not “very bad.” It is clear, and if the letters were more
regularly formed, it would soon become good. Your ink seems to vary in
thickness as you write, some letters being faint, others black. Always
use the best ink you can get.—2. This question does not belong to our
province, but as we cannot divide a letter for reply, we may assure
you that neuralgia in the face in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred
is due to decayed teeth, and a visit to the dentist is the best cure.
Remedies for neuralgia proper are quinine and “Tonga.” If the pain is
acute and persistent, you should consult a doctor. Your request for a
correspondent is inserted in the proper place.
