1885 has been at school, not only in a particularly healthy part of the country, but also under a gentleman who loyally carries out the great principle of equal culture for the body as well as for the mind. The lad is not only good at most games, but also an excellent shot at a rabbit. While C. C. M.'s eyes have been thus improving, it is interesting to note that his head has increased an inch and a half in circumference, and doubtless the depth of his orbital fossoe and his eyeballs have grown in an equal proportion. He has never used his spectacles except in school hours, and now frequently reads ordinary print without them. This treatment was based on the opinion that hypermetropia is the normal, or at any rate the common, condition of children's eyes; but that, if healthy growth and development of all parts of the body progress in regular order, hypermetropia gives way to emmetropia or normal vision by the time a boy has reached his sixteenth or eighteenth year. On the other hand, children reared in our large cities are too often defective in their tissue-forming power; not a few are rachitic to a greater or less extent. Many of these children are almost from infancy set to work in gloomy rooms. Conditions such as these, with perhaps faulty food, that is defective in tissue-forming elements, especially in phosphate of lime, tend to prevent proper development, and therefore to perpetuate the hypermetropia. The use of glasses in such cases is, however, only palliative, and, I think, tends to obviate the necessity for growtlh of the sclerotic and cornea, and therefore may rather fix the formation of the child's eye on into manhood, especially if glasses are constantlyworn. AsIhave before remarked, we should, if possible, relieve such children from work and attend to their surroundings. But, supposing a child has reached his eighth year and has difficulty in his studies on account of hypermetropia, we may order him glasses so as to enable him to work, but he should only wear them when in school; and it is well, if practicable, to reduce the power of his lenses about every two years until the lad has ceased growing, when we can expect no further im-Vrovement. I am convinced that treatment of this kind may in aome cases lessen the degree of hypermetropia, if it cannot completely overcome it. Hypermetropia is obviously a growing evil, due, it may be, in some measure, to the causes to which I have referred.
