IS quite characteristic OF glaucoma.

eyeball becomes very hard. The
tension is sometimes SO great IL

If you will close your eyelids
and place the ends of your index
fingers upon the closed lids, you
will get an idea of the normal ten

with one finger and then the other,
you will observe the elasticity Of
the eye, its softneSs. In glaucoma,
the feeling il entirely different.
The tissues do not give at all un-

The symptoms are due TO ar
interference in the drainage of the
eye. The fluid which accumulates
in the front part Of the eye il

and ultimately gets into the gen.

NOME people grow up with a
- prejudice against beets.
