AFFECTIONS OF THE CORNEA. 573 Affections of the Cornea. — Mr, Jonathan Hutchinson1 liasexpressed the opinion founded upon a lengthy and ably conductedseries of observations, that the peculiar inflammation of the cornea,met with for the most part between the ages of five and twenty andknown by the name of strumous corneitis,2 is always due to hered-itary syphilis. In his attempt to establish this point Mr. Hutchinsonhas attached no little importance to certain peculiarities in the form,size, and color of the permanent incisor teeth, which he regards asdiagnostic of inherited syphilitic taint, and which he states are ailbut invariably coexistent with strumous keratitis. In describing this condition Mr. Hutchinson says: As diagnosticof hereditary syphilis, various peculiarities are often presented bythe others, especially the canines, but the upper central incisors are Fig. The teeth converge towards each other, are very short, have a vertical notch or cleft intfieir free edges, and are also very narraw from side to side at their edges, not being so widethere as at their necks. the test teeth. When first cut these teeth are usually short, narrowfrom side to side at their edges and very thin. After awhile acrescentic portion from their edge breaks away, leaving a broad,shallow, vertical notch which is permanent for some years, but be-tween twenty and thirty usually becomes obliterated by the pre-mature wearing down of the tooth. The two teeth often converge, Fig. 42.
