If this is neglected, the abundant germswhich these diseases supply are very likely toinfect the corneal wound and lead to muchdreaded complications. 4.. Corneal opacities should be searched for,and if found, the patient should be warned thatthey form a bar to realization of perfect vision. 5. It is very important, in view of their ulti-mate effect upon the eyesight, that the presenceor absence of deep-seated disease of the eyeshould be demonstrated. It would be very, dis-

Herpetic Ulcer is the result of herpes zosterof the ophthalmic division of the fifth nerve,which is often seen with herpes of the face, lipsand nose. Small vesicles occasionally form on thecornea; these, breaking down, are infected andeventually produce ulceration. The disease isaccompanied by severe pain of a neuralgic char-acter.

In the upper outer quadrant of the cornea of the left eye wasa broad, dense, pearly white, scleral tongue, which extended toabout 3 mm. within the limbus. This tongue was evenly con-tinuous with the sclera, and where it ended on the cornea therewas the same sort of line and shadow as was noticed demarcatingthe abnormal structures in the right eye. The corneal surfacewas not appreciably elevated by the projecting tongue, and theremaining portions of the membrane were perfectly clear. I must regard these opacities an

Secondary infection of corneal wounds of thiskind may be followed by obstinate inflammatory processesand the development of permanent opacities in portionsof the cornea; whereas, with proper treatment such opaci-ties can be avoided. When the foreign body is quite superficial an attemptshould first be made to rub it off with a sharp probe,armed with cotton and moistened with a bichlorid solutionof 1 : 5000.
