IF the doctrines set forth in this work are worthy of acceptance, it must follow that a knowledge of the refractive and muscular anomalies of the eyes is essential to the most successful treatment of a very large proportion of nervous complaints. The supplemental portion of this work is prepared with the view of affording the practitioner who does not profess to be a specialist in eye-affections, a general understanding of the anomalies to be sought for and the means for their correction. No effort is here made to present an exhaustive or a critical treatise. One who would pursue these subjects in a technical manner will find abundant material for study in a part of this field in the superb works of Donders and of Landolt upon "The Refraction and Accommodation of the Eye."
