DISEASES OF THE EYE AND EAR.

Professor Barringer.

The study of the Diseases of the Eye and Ear is here solely from
the standpoint of the general practitioner. No attempt is made to
prepare a "specialist" and no instruction is given in refraction. In
the belief, however, that a good practitioner should have a reasonable
knowledge of any disease he is likely to meet, a two months' course
on the above subjects is given. The elementary use of the ophthalmoscope
as an instrument of diagnosis, as well as the use of the head
mirror, etc., is practically taught.

Text-Book.—Nettleship's Diseases of the Eye. For reference: Carter &
Frost's Ophthalmic Surgery, or other approved hand-book.
