Nervous Troubles.

Despite the fact that eye rehexes not d-
rectly theological in the production of nervous
diseases, they are most intimately and directly
related to functional neurosis. When there ia
unstable nervous equilibrium there is no
doubt that the abnormal amount of work which
oversighted eyes require, and the disturbance to
the reflex nervous system which is produced by
astigmstism potent factors in bringing on
nervous exhaustion.
In such because there is, sensitive
hghstrung, unstable, nervous mechanism an
abnormal visual function is essential agent
being often the last straw which brings down
the balance at the wrong end.
The stress of overwork, the burden of worry
are usually the principal factors in bringing the
nervous system to the tension-breaking point.
That the correction of ametrOpia does
compsh nueh in restoring these patients to
useful lives, there can be no doubt.
The relief which the correction of ametropa
affords does much to relieve the entire
system.
