    REFLEX TO SOME OF THE OCULAR REFLEXES FOUND IN GENERAL PARALYSIS OF THE INSANE} By CHARLES A. OLIVER, A.M., M.D., ATTRNDING SURGEON TO WILLS RYE HOSPITAL ; OPHTHALMIC SURGEON TO THE PRESBYTERIAN HOSPITAL; CONSULTING OPHTHALMIC SURGEON TO ST. TIMOTHY's HOSPITAL, ETC., PHILADELPHIA, PA. The following observations are given as expressive of some of the most important and most certain of the findings that have been obtained in a clinical study of the ocular symptoms of general paralysis of the insane as observed in a large proportion of the male inmates of the State Hospital for the Insane at Norristown, Pa. Although tentative in a measure, and not to be found to equal degrees in each individual case, yet, by reason of a combination of a large series of similarly related groupings, these observations may be justly offered as showing the relationship existing between the patellar tendon- reflexes and the ocular reflexes in this disease. With such provisions, and with the hope that these studies may serve as inducements to others for similar research, the following formulations are herewith off'ered : 1 Read before the American Ophthalmological Society Tulv 1893.
