DISEASE OF EYE IN FRANCE
Epidemic Of Conjunctivitis Due to Lar
Inspection Of immigrants
Tourists Unaffected.

Paris.-Parisians are having some
thing of scare over an epidemic Of
granulated conjunc.ivitis "a cuti.grsn.
ulation of the eyelids). which is raging
in certain restricted quarters-fortu.
nately not those frecuented by tour
lists.
This ma!ady was first brought to
Europe from Egypt by the soldiers Of
Napoleon. and the microbe which Is Ito
cause has not yet been identified By
psychologists.
Severe prophylactic measures are
necessary to prevent its rapid spread
and the blindness which Is frequently
one OF the consequences. 1t has been
declared by French medical men that
the only sure method OF combating it,
increase as an epidemic Is the expul.
sion from the country Of persons sui.
ferins from it; but this measure Is r..
jected.
The authorities inforce the isolation
of the victims, and immigrants Of the
soualid class are subjected to rigid
examination and surveillance. Judg.
ing by the number Of those affected
with this disease who enter France, Il
II likely that the same danger In gen.
eral would exist at American ports
had precautions against 1t not bsea
taken.
