Egyptian Opthalmia,

Or Contagious Granular Opthalm mia" as
known by the Opthalmic Surgeons Of Europe,
is a most painful and dangerous affection, orig
inally aud essentially an Inflammation Of the
mucous or lining membrane Of the Eyelds, and
is INST now engaging the serious attention OF
the Opthalmic Surgeons Of this country.
This disease is unquestionably contagious in
It's character. aud had its origin in Egypt du-
ring the contest for its possession between
France and England. 1t is stated that two
thirds of the French army were affected at one
time The English, also suffered seriously
their opthalmic dcpots being filed with soldiers
suffering from this mslady; and from that
time to the present it has never ceased to exist.
The writer has observed this disease in all its
grades in the most prominent Optbalmic Hos
pitfalls Of Europe. There it is principally con-
fined to crowded localities, but It attacks, in
Discriminatory, all classes.
There are several gradations Of this COM
| plant In the first grade it is found where the
person, without any redncss Of the eye or lids
has experienced a sensation Of pressure or IN
easiness, rs if a particle Of dust or sand had
got into the eye, with increased flow Of tears
I and with little or no pain. The second grade
/ is an assrayation Of the FIRST and exhibits a
more serious character; the pain and uneasi-
/ ness is more considerable and still resembles
/ that caused by foreign body in the eye. In
| this form the disease is disposed to become in
yeterate or chronic, and so continues for weeks
or months if neglected or improperly treated,
or pass into the third or more serious stage,
which is the most alarming in its appearance
and consequences. la this grade the writer
/ has seen it fatal to the organ in twenty-four
or thirty-six hours If the lining membrane
/ Of the cyc-hds is examined with the microscope
/ it has the appearance Of velvet, or as if cover
/ ed with dust This is observed in the first and
second grades Of the complaint During the
/ past month have observed in this community
/ fifteen or twenty cases Of these grades.
As the question Of coutagion has been posi-
| lively determined by Won Giraffe aud other EN-
ineut Oculsts, little care on the part OF
persons affected with iuAamcd or diseased eyes
may prevent the spread of one of the most
painful aud dangerous maladies. DR.. Reuing,
in recent paper on This subject, says this con-
tagious malady threatens 10 spread over the
United States. He has observed the disease in
| his practice in Baltimore, and mas traced the
contasion to the use Of roller-towes in places
Of public resort.
