; .1,000 Years Ago.
Chicago. Arab ocuUsts, practicing
In Bagdad 1,000 years ago, prescribed
remedies for diseases of tha eye, many
of which are atlU In use today.
' Operations for cataracts, treatment

;rat (The Ocullsfs Memorandum book)
of All lbn jsa by Dr. Casey Wood, for
jmer head of the department opthal
jmology of the Northwestern university
jmedlcal school
, Regarded Moat Original.
' 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."

performed a delicate double operation
recently, removing a rib from . Miss

transplanting It to the Injured fore

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.
