and different from those recommended by Saemisch, Guthrie, 
Schwenk, Meyrhofer, Wolfe, Wardrop, and others, in that the

healthy portion of the cornea without splitting the ulcer. The 
irrigation of the anterior chamber is not recommended by many 
authors. 
Before concluding I should like to avail myself of this occa- 
sion to express my gratitude to Professor Ubaldo, chief of the 
department, for extending to me the opportunity to perform 
these operations and to carry out my observations on and post- 
operative treatment of all these cases.
