SEABROOK'S BY FRANK D. W. BATES, M.D. HAMILTON, ONT., CANADA. I have had the pleasure of reading an article by Dr. H. H. Seabrook in a copy of your Journal of May 28th on What Should the General Practitioner Know of Ophthalmology? and should like to reply, for I believe the general practitioner should recognize some facts upon which Dr. Seabrook and I do not agree. 66 I am one of those belonging to what Dr. Seabrook designates as a certain class of eye specialists who look upon the organ of vision as a central starting point of general disease;" only I should put it in a little different way, and say that my belief was that eye-strain was one of the greatest factors in producing disease of the general system. Now I have spent a great deal of time and money looking into this theory during the past eight years, and I have no hesitation in saying that I believe the theory is correct, and that there is more disease of the general system produced through the eyes than in any other way. Furthermore, even at the expense of being called an enthusiast and a crank, I will say that I believe it to be one of the most important theories ever advanced in medicine, as well as one of the most difficult to introduce. HE above quotation shows the conclusions which have been reached by some eminent oculists relative to Eye-strain as an etiological factor in disease. This is in reply to an article, the keynote of which may be found in the following sentence quoted by Dr. Bates further on in his reply: "It is better not to know so much than to know so much that ain't so." Is the general practitioner likely to be seriously injured by acquiring a little knowledge of Eye strain? If not, a good book on the subject should be of advantage. EYE-STRAIN IN HEALTH AND DISEASE.
