public health service.
Trachoma has been said to be as
"'old as the Nile, the simeon, and the

military and civil life and has made
fearful ravages in practically every
European country.
Despite the confusing and contra.

trachoma, the contagious character Of
the disease is unquestionable.
During the first half of the nine

have suffered from the disease. Dur
ing the Russo-Japanese war trachoma
was a formidable enemy to be reck-
oned with in the Japanese army and
large numbers of troops had to be
isolated and treated for this malady.
Some months ago it was reported
that an epidemic of trachoma was
causing considerable anxiety in
France, the disease having been

however, was checked by the quick
isolation of all victims and other
drastic measures.
Medical inspection at United States

found most extensively among the
Syrian, Armenian, Hebrew, italian,
Polish and Greek races. Lasting as 1t
