Teetk bb Eyesight.
It is not ft generally understood fact;
that the condition of tho teeth has
much to do with the health, beauty aad
usefulness of tbe eyes. That an ulcerated
tooth will oftea cause extreme inflammation-
of the. eyes is trae, and & ease im
reported of almost total blindnees cawed
by the teeth crowding together. A half
grown boy, who had complaised of al
most incessant uneasiness in his jaws
and had been visited with periodical at
tacks of the most violent toothache, re-
tired one night in his usual condition,
butjspon awakening the next morning
it was discovered that he was blind.
The eyes presented a most unnatural
appearance and tho countenance was
strained and distressed. After a good
deal of investigation it was decided to
remove some of his teeth and see if this
would afford relief. Six teeth were ex
tracted and the boy was given sedativo
treatment. After a few days the sight
became normal and there has been no re
turn of tho difficulty. Children who ap
pear: to have too many teeth should be
carefully looked aft8r, especially if they
complain of their eyes in any way.
Sometimes the symptoms are only aec
ondary, but an acute diagnostician will
speedily detect the exact state of the .
case. New York Ledger.
