EYE SPECIALISES
GATHER AT G.W. II.
Rings, Warts, Trees Can Be
Seen Inside the Optic and
Reveal Ills, Lecturer Says.
Christmas trees, strings of pearls,
saffron clouds, blue crosses, luminous
rings, warts and creeping animals are
among the queer things that may be
seen inside the front of the eye by the
use of the slit-lamp microscope de
scribed before a group of graduate
opthalmologists from all over the
United States at George Washington
University yesterday.
The instrument enables eye special
j ists to look into the cornea, or front
(part of the eye, which protects the
j lens and through which flows the
aqueous fluid. The queer forms seen
may be evidence of pathological con
ditions. as described by Dr. Robert
Von Der Heydt of Chicago.
The strings of pearls, crosses and
rings. Dr. Von Der Heydt said, are due
to the ravages of a filterable virus
I on the dendrites, nerve filaments which
j are abundant in the cornea. This
! virus is the same which is responsi
ble for herpes, manifested in numer
ous forms of eruptions on the skin.
"Warts" Mean Age.
The "warts" in the eye are among j
the many signs of Increasing age al- i
forded by the organ of vision. They 1
are not “warts" in the same sense I
as those which appear on the fingers,
but are dark-colored nodules which
appear on one of the glassy mem
branes which make up the cornea, due
to excessive secretion from the cells.
Through the cornea. Dr. Von Der
Heydt explained, there is a continuous
circulation of the watery fluid of the
eye which is secreted from the blood.
This is governed by a peculiar mecha
nism. The cornea, exposed to the
outside, is cooled to the temperature
of its surroundings, while the Iris,
protected behind the cornea, retains
the normal heat of the body. Thus
there is set up a heat gradient which
keeps the flow going on continuously
during the life of the individual.
When an infection is present, white
blood celts—leucosytes. lymphocytes
and plasma cells—get into this cor- j
neal circulation and tend to deposit ■
.themselves on the back of this part
of the eye.
Operations Described.
I There, Dr. Von Der Heydt said, Is
| the only possible place to see these
! cells, which have most of the char
acteristics of individual living animals,
although part of the great "state'' of
the human body, crawling around, i
Clumps can be located which have
changed their position a short time ;
afterward.
The kind of animal is important!
for diagnostic purposes. Leucocytesj
mean an acute infection, lymphocytes j
a chronic infection, and plasma cells '
are one of the earliest evidences of
tuberculosis. Thus Dr. Von Der
Heydt spoke of "leucocyte storms” in
the eye, which come with some sud
den infection and which leave queer
patterns like spider webs, stars, etc.
Delicate surgical operations on the
eyelid, which often is disfigured by
scars and infections, were described
by Dr. Edmund B. Spaeth of Phila- !
delphia, formerly of Walter Reed
Hospital. These operations consist
largely of mucous membrane grafts In !
which the Inner lining of the lid Is 1
entirely removed and replaced with
skin from the inside of the mouth.
This restores the power of movement
to the lid and eye.
Symposium Held.
Dr. Spaeth told how large scars on
the eyelid can be repaired by cutting
a long, narrow strip of skin from the
forehead, leaving the end attached
just at the corner of the eye and sew
ing the strip into the eyelid hole,
where the scar has been cut away. A
hairline scar is left on the forehead.
The graduate opthalmologists held
a symposium on cataract at the audi
torium of the Medical Society of the
District of Columbia last night.
Lectures by the foremost eye spe
cialists in the United States will con
tinue at the medical school through
out the week, under the general direc
tion of Dr. William Thornwall Davis,
George Washington professor of op
thalmology. They are intended to
bring together, for the benefit of
practicing physicians, the latest ad
vances throughout the world in the
diagnosis and treatment of diseases of
the eye. There also will be inspection
tours of the Bureau of Standards and
Walter Reed Hospital, national centers
of optical research and study of eye
diseases.
To Stimulate Production.
To stimulate production of tin Bo
livia is working out a plan of higher
cash pay for miners, whose pay en
velopes contain checks.

"Registered trade-auric
American Can Co.
A package of beer or ale shaped like this Q leaves more room
on crowded refrigerator shelves. This is the shape of beer and ale
cans trade-marked Keglined. Think how practical it is. Just enough
apace to hold the contents, no more. That flat top and bottom
makes it thrifty on shelf space, in pantry or refrigerator.
But there’s more to a beer can than its shape. A can is easier
to carry, easier to open—with the "Canco” Beverage Opener.
Above all, canned beer is generous to flavor, because a can
keeps beer or ale in absolute darkness until the moment of pouring.
