1.-TWO English physicians have recently been
trying to ascertain what relation, if any,
exists between disease and the color of
the eyes. They were led more by accident than
design to the observation that many persons,
particularly children, i'll with scaretina diph-
iberia, septic sore throat tuberculosis and per
nicious anaemia suffer more and succumb
more easily to the ravages Of these diseases if
thelr eyes are light blue or gray than if their
eyes are black or brown
Statistics collected at several English hospi-
tails and published by these physicians in re-
cent issue of the Lancet show that whereas
children with searletina who are dark-eyed
rarely die or suffer serious complications, nearly
ten per cent of those with ghtcolored eyes
die of this dread ailment
