"Here's where the scalping-knife began!" cried a snaggle-toothed worthy, from the half-bent posture in which he had been surveying the forlorn cicatrices of the bare poll, and digging his heels into the red-clay slope to sustain his weight. "No, no here!" advanced another theorist.
Here Quatermain held up his right hand to the light and showed us four or five white cicatrices just where the wrist is set into the hand. "But it was not of the slightest use," he went on; "the cartridge would not move. I only hope that no other man will ever be put in such an awful position.

Prior to the happy advent of technically correctly placed filtering cicatrices, a large number of surgeons depended almost exclusively on the use of myotics in so-called simple, chronic or non-inflammatory glaucoma. This is not the place to introduce a discussion of the comparative value of iridectomy and myotic treatment in simple glaucoma as based upon statistical records.
