ON CATARACT. 
By Mr. W. A Cartwright, Whitchurch. 
In the month of May last, I was attending, at Lord Comber- 
mere’s, a filly that had been gored by an Indian bull, when I 
was shewn a cow that had lost both her eyes under rather pecu- 
liar circumstances : the particulars were, so far as I could ascer- 
tain, as follow : — About two or three months before the cows 
were fetched up to be milked, and on proceeding to tie this covy 
up, she was merely driven nearer to the stall, when she hit 
the near eye against the end of a half inch pin that projected 
through for about an inch and fastened the boosy stake to the 
stall : she suddenly fell backwards as if shot, but got up again 
immediately. She was in a few hours after turned out, but found 
to be blind of both eyes, and has remained so to the present day. 
In a short time after the accident she had a cataract in each eye, 
and when I saw her nearly the whole of both of the lenses was 
opaque and disorganized. 
There was scarcely any apparent inflammation in the eye that 
was injured, after the accident; nothing more than a little weep- 
ing, and none whatever in the other eye ; nor had there ever 
been, as far as they knew of, any thing the matter with either 
up to the time of the injury.
