discussion, but they urge that the sig

Teeth and Evesight.

It is not a generally understood fact
that the condition of the teeth has
much to do with the health, beauty and
usefulness of the eyes. That an liberated
tooth will often cause extreme infam-
nation of the eyes is true, and case is
reported of almost total blindness caused
by the teeth crowding together. A half
grown boy, who had complained of al
most incessant uneasiness in his jaws
and had been visited with periodical at
tacks of the most violent toothache, re-
tired one night in his usual condition,
but upon awakening the next morning
it was discovered that he was blind.
The eyes presented most unnatural
appearance and the eountenance was
strained and distressed. After a good
deal of investigation it was decided to
remove some of his teeth and see if this
would afford relief. Six teeth were ex-
tracted and the boy was given sedative
treatment. After a few days the sight
became normal and there has been no re-
turn Of the difficulty Children who ap-
pear to have too many teeth should be
carefully looked after, especially if they
complain of their eyes in any way.
Sometimes the symptoms are only sec
ondary, but an acute diagnostician will
speedily detect the exact state of the
case. New York Ledger.
