dread is becoming rare indeed in
America. "Granulated evelids' is
its common name. "TrachOma" and
granular conjUnctivitis" are other
names.
When We were less particular in
our quarantine conditions. lots OF
these cases came TO our shores. The
result was that our immigration
ports were filled with the disease.
Every schOOlrOcm had its victims.
In certain OF the mountain regions
OF the south and in other sections
where sanitary conditions were
neglected. the disease made rapid
and serious inroads upon the pop
ulation.
Scientists have not succeeded in
finding the germ responsible for
trachoma. This has made the fight
against it more difficult. In spite
Of the lack Of this important knowl-
edge. however. a winning war mas
been waged against the dread dis
case. Where it was common before
il is rarely met today.
Rigid medical school inspection
has revealed the disease in its early
and durable stages. Insistence by
health authorities on immediate
and systematic treatment of every
case and education of the public in
the danger of trachOma have had
the natural results.
Under no circumstances should a
parent neglect the symptoms of eye

there is no reasonable doubt that
