THE terrified expression OF

eyes has been stamped on men
coming out OF battle. Not only
the expression. but the disease.
| have been compiling a list
for a paper on diagnosis of the
diseases that affect the eyes. 1t
makes a long one.
Jaundice. OF course, is seen in
the eyes before il can be de-
tected in the skin and IL remains
in the eye long after II has left
the skin.
The dead white of anemia
shows up in the everted eyelid.
Diabetes. high blood pressure.
hardening of the arteries, kidney
disease. brain tumor half a dozen
nervous diseases, blood diseases.
and the chronic infectious dis
eases. tuberculosis and syphilis.
all affect the retina of the eyes
in such a characteristic way that
the oculist can make the dag
nosis without resorting 10 the
consultation Of the e IN r !
physician or the resources Of the
laboratory.
IT Is not only the diagnosis
Il itself. but in high blood pres
sure and hardening of the
arteries it is the severity of the
condition which can be de-
termined by an examination Of
the retina That is the only
place in the body where one can
see the medium-siZed arteries
exposed so their elasticity and
thickening can be determined
Many Of the acute contagious
diseases show up first or last in
the eye - measles. chickenpox.
etc. Mumps may mump in the
lacrymal gland first. A hemor-
rhaCe into the white Of the eye
may denote whooping cough.
So If your oculist gives you
pronouncement on your general
condition, or your physician
wants an oculist in consultation,
believe him.
