Dr. C. S. JeafFreson, senior surgeon at the Eye 

 Hospital, Newcastle, England: "Tobacco am-

 malady in this district ; there are few weeks that

Dr. Chisholm, a distinguished oculist of Balti-

 had allowed her to smoke in his company, and this

 tobacco comes sudden or gradual impairment of 

 vision ; a blurring of objects ; ability to see bet- 

 ter in twilight than in full daylight ; difficulty in 

 distinguishing colors ; and after a time partial or 

 complete and permanent loss of vision."
