Press

The statistical and other evidence collected by Dr. Llewellyn, and his thorough
quantitative examinaticn into the actual illumination at the working face with
different lights, have rendered the whole subject intelligible on its practical side. The
disease is fully explained and described, and an historical account is given of the
disease and theories of its causation, and the conditions determining the occurrence
of nystagmus discussed. A whole chapter is devoted to the preventive measures and
treatment.—South Wales Daily News.

Dr. Llewellyn adopts the view which has already been maintained in this country
by Dr. Court, of Staveley, and other mining authorities, that this disease is closely
connected with deficient illumination in the mines. He deals at length and in very
great detail with the disease, giving many interesting tables of statistics, and some
extremely significant illustrations. The subject is one very well worth careful study

, on the part of all those interested in the well-being of the large mining population of
this district, and this volume is an important contribution to the science and know-
ledge of the subject.—Sheffield Daily Telegraph.

To the medical profession and to the mining community alike, Dr. T. Lister
Llewellyn’s “Miners’ Nystagmus: Its Causes and Prevention ” will be of very real
value, resulting as it does from a long series of close investigations into the disease,
which, as Prof. Haldane says, in a preface to the book, has been recognised for about
50 years, though full and exact study of the conditions which cause it have been
hitherto lacking. Dr. Llewellyn was appointed as the first student under the Tyndall
bequest, and his experience of mining conditions made him particularly well fitted for
the painstaking investigations which he has carried out.—Newcastle Daily Chronicle.
