Alexander Appointed Chief in British Eye Hospital y Manchester, England, July 8.-= Dr. B. Alexander, graduate of Mec« Gill University and formerly of the Montreal General Hospital, has been appointed chief medical offi- cer of the Royal Eye Hospital here. Dr. Alexander recently had charge of one of the most remarkable cases of deficient eyesight that has been known. A woman went to the Manchester Hospital 'with the sight of one eye gone and the other eve failing. She had been unter- going various forms of treatment with so little result that she had almost, resigned herself to a sight- less world. Dr. Alexander held there was no- thing wrong with her sight and that the treatment given had been unsuitable. He took the view that in an accident the patient had suf- fered some years before, a small vein behind one of her eyes had been contracted and, not perform- ing its proper functions, it affect ed the eye. He recommended eye exercise. : As the patient had practically lost hope she could not be relied on to perform regular eye exercises, and' was therefore given glasses of dif- ferent colors and kinds to wear every half-hour. The whole idea, although she did not realize it, was to make her move her eye in different directions. In a week im- provement was shown, and before she left the hospital the sight of one eye had been restored.
