DIR. J.. l.. Minor of Memphis read an
interesting article before the State
Medical Society OF Tennessee upon the
eye affections due TO malarial poison
ing. The article was exhaustive, and
besides p esenting the views of the
leading European and American au-
thorities, contained many original
ideas. II was pointed out that ma
laria might cause eye affections, vary
ing in intensity from slight inflamma-
ton OF the lids 10 absolute blindness,
and in locality from the front surface
of the eye TO the back of the eye ball.
These novel and startling views met
with that enthusiastic reception which
their scientific importance justified.
