This book is written to acquaint laymen with the essential facts about the eyes and to warn them against the methods employed by quacks. It seems admirably conceived for this purpose. The facts about the eye and its functions are given in concise paragraphs, arranged alphabetically, with cross references to other related sections. It is debatable whether this arrangement is conducive to pleasant reading, but it does allow a reader to find easily the information available on any subject. The information was obtained from a number of books and pamphlets both medical and popular, which are listed and seem to have been well selected. Being written by a layman, the language is such as to be easily understood by laymen.The author represents consistently the views held SN - 0002-9955 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.1943.02840220078036 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.1943.02840220078036 ER -
