30 it's effects upon the optic nerve and its
connecting filters, and The sensitive retina
which receives the visual impressions, would
not bc concentrated or distinct, but didused
and dim.
But the continuous use Of the poisonous
drugs named above, are still INDUCED in day

becomes greater, and by degrees the nerve
becomes weaker and the retinal sensibility
IS more defective, and in aged psrsons as well
as young, causes optic atrophy and will also
produce paralysis Of the accommodation
either partial or complete, arises from loss of
power in the cliarv muscles, and is due to
paralysis Of thu, branch which supplies the

allied in their action upon the nervous ap.
pear"uce Of the eye that they ahould be taken
with caution. 1t costs you not one cent to
find out the evs trouble.
