This communication is of necessity limited, more or less, to my personal observation and experience. Because of military exigencies it is not possible for me to give accounts from all departments of army endeavor and the regulations regarding trachoma in each camp and hospital. To the officials of the Surgeon General's office I am indebted for permission to present to the Society, at this time, any account whatsoever. To Dr. de Schweinitz especially am I grateful for opportunities to consult the official records in his care and for the privilege to publish what I here present. My report, therefore, can serve as a brief introduction to that extensive account which Dr. de Schweinitz shall later on make to the surgical history of the war.
