In such instances there has
been no effort made to educate
the eye to detect even the basic
colors, much less their different
shades.
Only very few persons are
totally color-blind. Partial color
blindness generally depends upon
conditions that are present at
birth. and there have been OBJ
eservations made suggesting that
1t may be hereditary. That the
condition exists at all was discov-
cred by a great chemist, John
Dalton, who accidentally discov-
cred that he himself was color
blind
In a certain number Of cases,
the condition is acquired as the
result Of disease or accident.
In such instances, it is gen.
orally the result Of, first, an in
flammation,I and, next, a. shrink

The most common cause Of ac-
CURED color-blindness is the ex-

may produce the same result.
