CXXEMATOG RAPHITI8.F you have headache or giddiness or upset stomachIperhape it is a too frequent attendance upon moving picture shows. That, at least, is the suggestion of one of the best nerve specialists in 'the country, who says he has found that the “movies’* have a deleterious effect \ipon many people.Other symptoms of cinematographitis are not different from those of ordinary cases of eye-strain. Sick headache is possibly the most common, with a dazed, good-for-nothing feeling, lack of energy and appetite, vomiting and sleoplesness. As these are also sometimes symptoms of other troubles, their appearance must not always le taken as a rign of moving picture intemperance. Especially, as someone naively remarks, if the sufferer has not been intemperate with his nickels and hasn’t seen a moving picture show for weeks.Considering the fact that moving picture shows are here to stay, however, and that many specialists agree they constitute an unusual and serious strain upon the eyes, it is best to consider the matter seriously. There has been great improvement in the pictures since they were invented and there will be further improvement in proportion to the necessity for it. One doctor suggests if the exposure of each picture was not so long as at present it would help, as would better illumination in many of the shows.
