"CASE 7.
"Mrs. M'Beath. Suffered for many years past from a disease combining the characters of conjunctival and sclerotic ophthalmia. The prussic acid was applied, daily, for about three weeks, and at the expiration of that time the redness and angry appearance of the eye disappeared; the organ looked clear and healthy, and no pain whatever was felt. The patient can bear a bright light without uneasiness, and is now free from any symptom of her former ailment.
