Finding what you are looking for on a page
After you have looked something up in the INDEX and have turned to the page
with the topic you want, take a moment to look over the whole page. Do not just
start reading from the top. First notice what part of the page has the information
you are looking for.
For example: Suppose some neighbors have a baby who is cross-eyed, and you
want to discuss with them what can be done to correct the problem. You look in
the INDEX (or the CONTENTS) and find that the main reference to cross-eyes is
page 223. But where on page 223 should you read? Here are some clues:
Look at the
words in BIG,
DARK LETTERS.

And look
at the

When you get to the bottom of the page, be sure to check the next page to see if
the information continues.
