this boy. In the middle:ages such n case
would like as not be deemed one OF de-
moniac possession or something OF that
kind; and such boy would be treated
as an outcast or as one worthy OF
stigma
Hysterical people are very apt to have
visual peculiarities-all Of which are
pretty sure TO disappear. like the mists
of the morning, without any treatment
directed 10 the eyes, but by such treat
ment as will enable the sufferer to live
normally and healthfully. and free of the
anxieties and the mental stress and
shock, from injury or otherwise, that so
frequently are the occasion OF those Wis
ual pecularities.
There is indeed very intimate rela-
tlon between the eye and the whole
nervous system. OF course. 1t Is possible
that such visual disturbances are really
symptoms OF some real disease OF tho
brain or spinal cord or the bodily nerves:
and in any case the sufferer must under
go thorough examination by compe-
tent eye doctor. who will be able to de-
tect the difference. However, apart from
any organic disease whatever, neuras-
themes or Mysteries are very like to have
peculiar eye disturbances. Doctors call
such patients hysteropes tops Is eye in
Creek. Such Mysteries may see double
just as people with sQuint may see
double or as anyone may see double by
just putting prism before one eye. And
this may be due to a hysterical contrac-
ton Of any OF the half dozen muscles
which move the eye In one direction and
another, as with the maiden who casts
side glance and looks down." and whom

nies. from floor which is inverted and
he wonders why they don't fall down and
hit the ceiling or the sky, as the case
may be. When this condition occurs the
boy has very hard time Of 1t because
he constantly falls and hurts himself.
When he comes to descending fight
OF steps he almost invariably meets with
an accident because to him the stairs
ascend and In raising his foot to take
the first step, he plunges forward down
the whole fight. Shelves give him q
lot of trouble. When told to place an
article Oh the top of shelf he is very apt
to place il underneath. when, of course,
1t will fall to the floor.
So many accidents and embarrassments
occur during the day for this poor little
fellow that sometimes he Just closes his
eyes altogether. finding that he can get

glance at the diagram will make this
clear. The interior Of the eyeball is a
camera obscura-a dark chamber The
sensitive plate on which the visual
sight Impressions are made is the
retna- The light by which any object
is imaged on the retna goes through the
crystalline lens and is focused on the
retina just as in the camera obscura
And the image is upside down; and the
right side Of the object is TO the left, and
vice versa. If you have ever looked into
a camera obscura you have seen the
given object pictured topsy turvy. When
the photographer looks through his ap.
paratus to be sure you are looking
pleasant and are artistically posed, be-
fore swapping you, he sees you upside
down.
The trouble is probably not with this
boys eyes, but with his brain and his
nervous system generally. OF course, such
sufferers may have some real organic
disease such as an abscess or tumor or
an inflammation of the nervous system;
hut 1t is pot necessary to suppose any
