Contact Glasses have two applications in ophthalmology; first, in the correction of defects of vision and, second, in examinations of the eye wherein they permit the physician to obtain a view of certain portions of the interior of the living eye-ball which could not otherwise be seen.

Such a defect renders the patient's vision practically useless and the trouble...
Another thing that the public probably did not know until last week was that Ralph S. Kelley, author of the above paragraph, had been for six years chief of the field division of the Department of the Interior's general land office at Denver.

Its functions are not well understood. One thing it certainly does is to inhibit sexual development of chilrendren. Because all the ductless glands of the body delicately control and balance one another's forces, when one acts abnormally as in Clarence Kehr's case, or in Harold Arnold's case (see col. 2), it incites a physiological riot. Clarence Kehr's parents plan to appeal...
