THE ACADEMY OF MEDICINE.
A Large Meeting Last NIght-Interesting
Papers Read.

DR.. Shields presided at the meeting Of
the Academy Of Medicine last night. which
was largely attended. DIR. Charles II. May,
of New York, though young man, is an
author Of some distinction. In his paper
at the academy last night he showed that
many of the diseases of the eye had their
origin in some constitutional vice. Even
the little "sty" upon the lid was often, he
said, of this character and could not be
cured without medicine, and sometimes
the cure in this way was speedy. The Doc
tors paper was well read and vote OF
thanks was rendered him. DIR. May also
stated that the use of alcoholic liquors was
very injurious in eye affections.
