Sixteen years ago a young man
was brought into- the hospital at
Cairns, in Queensland, Australia, suf-

the optic nerves. In spite of skilled
treatment, lie became blind.
Other cases occurred in the sante
district., and were traced to the eat-

which has nothing in common with
the English cherry.

poisons are at present beyond scien-
tinc explanation. The Iluger cherry
