Miss Hathaway, the Hartford hos
pital nurse whose eyeslght has been
lost from infection from opthalmia has
left the hospital and is now in com
paratively sound bodily health. The
disease known as opthalmia is of
contagious character and was taken
by Miss Hathaway while she was talk
ing care of an infant that was suffering
from it in the hospital.
The disease is most frequently met
with in children, principally infants.
1t makes it appearance in violent in
Illumination of the eyelids, involving
the cornea. This part of the eye is
like the crystal of a watch. Through
it is seen the colored portion of the
eye. In the disease the cornea, ulcer
ates. When the liberation heals
scar is left on the cornea, rendering
the organ Opaque. 1T is impossible to
eliminate the scar; sometimes the ul-
ceration Is serious enough to destroy
the lens of the eye. In that case the
organ has to be removed from the
socket entirely DR.. William G. Craig,

in charge while on staff duty. He was

brought in for treatment. This was be-

generally found among the poor and
ignorant classes and is brought on
through an impurity of life in the
parents.

The dispatch from Guilford published
in the dailies last week, concerning the
discovery" of large quantities of trap
rock on Totolet Mount ain causes those
Of us to smile who live in the shadow
ofthe great hill and who have for years
Travelled our roads paved with Totoket
trap. If the enthusiastic "discoverer'
of this vast pile of good road material
had followed the range beyond the
point where the town Of Guilford bare
ly touches the mountain, he would have
made the additional discovery that
the trap Is already being shipped by the
train load and that many towns are
using Totoket trap for the improve
ment Of thei. highways II is certainly
an extensive vein of igneous rock, and
not hing but lack of railroad facilities
prevents it's more extensive quarrying
for road purposes Therefore, in order
to get this magnificent find to the cars
for shipment let Guilford first get the
railroad But II is easy enough to get
this bonanza Of road material "to sea"
as the "discoverer" puts it. Just load 1t
upon barges at the head of the beauti-
full Quinnipaugh lake, at the north end
of the town, and float it down the rip
pling trout stream which meanders be-
low, and 1t will be there. How easy!
How nice!
