' The book la regarded as the. most original and complete of all the early, treatises on the diseases of the eye., The translation was done by Doctor! Wood In Rome where he had access to' the vast store of material In the Vati can library. The completed manuscript was re turned to America, where It was pre pared for publication by Dean Irving Cutter and Dr. Harold Gilford, present .head of the department of ophthal mology of Northwestern university medical school. Not until the Eighteenth century, when Kepler published his work on dioptries, when the prescription of glasses became common, did any better treatise on ophthalmology appear, ac cording to Doctor Wood. The Tadhkirat Is divided into three, books. The first Is devoted to the anatomy of the eye. The second treats of external diseases of the eye, of which 70 are Included, ranging from diseases of the lid and the falling out of eyelashes to cancer of the cornea. Twenty-five Internal diseases of the eye are listed In the third book, among them being diseases of the retina, the optic nerve; atrophy of the eyeball and treatment of squint. Gives 143 Remedies. The work Includes 143 ophthalmic remedies and their specific action on the eye. Many of these, Doctor Wood states, are effective today and well known to modern oculists. They Include white lead, sine, ash, vitrei and .opium. He also mentions and recommends camphor, musk and amber. The use of anesthesia as an adjunct in operations on the eye appears for the first time In any. written account In the Tadhkirat The . Idea of general anesthesia. to relieve pain most have been ; original with. All,' according to Doctor Wood, although the Arabian oc ulist nowhere mentions that It was his own discovery. "It Is remarkable," Doctor Wood states, "that general anesthesia,, evi dently well understood by early Ara bian surgeons, Is either Ignored or Its practice denied by medical his torians. Its first use in ophthalmic op erations Is ascribed to Junken In 185X1, over 800 years after All lived and practiced." Woman's Rib Is Grafted Into Head of Another Battle Creek, Mich.

Afany "Annuals 'Are Best Sown In Fall Every time that nature produces annual flowers in our gardens from self-sown, seed, she demonstrates that annuals can be grown from seed sown Jn the fall. The list of annuals which can self seed may vary in different' sections of the country, but it it probable that annual larkspur and cornflowers (cen taurea cyanus) will be on the list al most anywhere. These and other subjects may be grown from ' Seed sown in the fall! and many ' authorities advise that larkspurs be so grown wherever pos sible. ; Plants from-fall eowins; get stafted- much 'earlier in the - springj and . they , flower almost as soon as indoor ;; plants, . besides being much larger and more vigorous. V AN ANP CQVtB WTU MULCH The list of subjects may safely in clude all annuals which usually self sow in your neighborhood, and any other varieties which are hardy, and have small, hard seeds, with which you are willing to take a chance for the sake of earlier plants. Large, soft seeds, even of hardy varieties, may decay in the wet ground, but the hard seeds will lie safe if protected from being washed out of the soil by rains, or injury in some other way. Nature is always lavish; and much of the seed she sows, no doubt, is lost. With purchased seed one will probably wish to be more careful. A seed bed surrounded by a wood en curb is an excellent place to sow fall annuals. A cold frame will do as well; and many sow seeds in the open garden, where experience has shown drainage is good. If seeds are sown in rows, which can be marked, it is easy to check results and protect the seedlings when they appear. Sow the seed thinly, mixing small seed with dry sand to help scatter it, and do not sow much deeper than "you would in the spring. Many gar deners cover the row with a shallow layer of sand after sowing. In a seed bed, or cold frame, after the ground has frozen a light mulch of leaves may be placed over the bed to keep the frost in. This mulch should be removed before the seeds sprout in the spring. Annuals which are usually success ful from fall sowing include alyssum, snapdragons, cacalia, calendula, cal liopsis, candytuft, centauria syanus, clarkia, cosmos, eschsholtzia, euphor bia, gypsophila, larkspur, lupin, nico tians, petunia, annual phlox, annual poppies and swet peas. Conditions in the spring are usual ly fine for transplanting and plants may be moved from the seed bed to the border about the time one would be sowing seed in the spring. The fall sown plants are not soft like those grown indoors and receive little or no check from transplanting. Located at 110 North Water Street in Elizabeth City, N. C. Phone 185.
