Four cases of tumors developing where badly-fitted glasses have Irrl-tafed Irrl-tafed the Bkln have been reported In New Haven, Conn., within recent years. The places where spectacles usually produce constant bruising of the skin are the bridge of the nose, the sides of the bridge near the Inner angle of the eye, th temples and at the back of the ears.
