Treatment of Trachoma by Acetic Acid.

patienit got the largest subconjunctival haematoma I have ever seen: at the end of the operation it stood up round the lower and inner part of the cornea, looking very much like a kidney with the hilum at the limbus. Before bandaging the eye I tapped this haematoma, with a cut from a pair of scissors. Recovery was tunieventful and the case left hospital at the end of the month. Tested in out-patients' department on September 1, 1926, the vistial result was: R.E.+0.75 cyl. axis horizontal=6/9. There was a large myopic crescent, the macula was healthy as was the vilreous, and the spindle was vTery obvious; it could be seen with focall illumination by the naked eye. I could not discover any trace of a spindle in the blind eye. Seen by the aid of the slit-lamp the change in the cornea appears to be miore diffuse than one would be led to expect by simple examination with the loupe; to the latter the appearance was really that, of a spindle more or less in the centre of the cornea. The pictutre by Theodore Hamblin, Ltd., with the aid of the slit-lamrp, sliows the condition excellently. I am indebted to Mr. Duike-Elder for the trouble he took in attending with the patient and slhowing the draughtsman exactly what was wanted.
