J Am Med Assoc, Jul 1909; LIII: 228: ARIZONA MEDICAL ASSOCIATION. Annual Meeting, held at Prescott, May 19-20, 1909. ... Trachoma. Dr. Daniel W. White, U. S.

Trachoma is found under all climatic conditions. Until the cornea is involved the seriousness of this disease is usually not realized. Prophylaxis is the all-important goal.

Dr. White has made a close study of this disease all over the United States and has personally examined 100,000 Indians in Oklahoma, and found 70,000 of them affected....
