Present Condition. — General health perfectly good; iritic zone 

 complete, but more or less concealed by the vascularity of the con- 

 junctiva; no iritic circle; iris but slightly changed in colour; pupil 

 a little enlarged, but regular and active; anterior chamber hazy; a 

 small quantity of lymph at its bottom; great intolerance of light, 

 and lachrymation; pain slight; can see to distinguish his fingers. 

 As this patient, as well as the one whose case will next be given, 

 was in most robust health, and the inflammatory symptoms were 

 severe, I determined to test the value of quinine alone. He was re- 

 ceived as an indoor patient that the progress of the disease might be 

 carefully noted ; six grains of quinine were ordered daily ; by mis- 

 take, however, he took ten grains. At the end of a week all his 

 symptoms were greatly aggravated; indeed the patient was so much 

 worse that I found serious mischief might result. 



April 7th. — Discontinue quinine ; apply hops to the temple ; 

 give pills of calomel and opium every six hours; ungt. hyd. op. and 

 stram. to the brow and temple. 



10th. — No change; repeat C. C, continue pills. 



12th. — Eye much better; vascularity greatly lessened; vision 

 improving; mouth sore; give one pill at night and ten grains of 

 Dover's powder. 



lQth. — Pupil has been thoroughly dilated by the stramonium, and 

 is quite irregular; can read the smallest print with the affected eye. 



William Brady, aged 17, admitted March 31st, 1848; had fever 

 on his voyage from Liverpool in Dec. last; ill for ten days; no 

 rglapse. Three weeks since first noticed muscse and dimness of 

 vision in the right eye; one week after the eye became injected.

 respond precisely with that of Stanley.

 sore; pain and intolerance of light gone; vascularity much dimi- 

 nished; can distinguish large type.
