Cholera is scarcely known at Dorjiling, and when it has been imported thither has never spread. Disease is very rare amongst the Lepchas; and ophthalmic, elephantiasis, and leprosy, the scourges of hot climates, are rarely known.
"She is very frank and easy to get on with," I replied. "Yes. A good girl and a clever girl, and comely to look upon withal. I suppose it would be superfluous for me to suggest that you mind your eye?" "I shouldn't, in any case, try to cut out a man who is under a cloud," I replied sulkily. "Of course you wouldn't; hence the need of attention to the ophthalmic member.
Sixth: That it is not a simple nor easy operation and should, therefore, be performed only by an operator well trained in ophthalmic surgery. The careful and skillful technique of the originator of the operation perhaps accounts for his greater success in its results and those who perform the operation should follow his technique and be capable of handling complications that may later arise.
As regards the others let me recommend to you the complete description of them given by Posey in A System of Ophthalmic Operations. Let us consider the first of the three procedures just mentioned iridectomy introduced by von Graefe. The mechanism of its mode of cure is best studied in cases of acute primary glaucoma, when there is apposition of the periphery of the iris to the cornea.
In 1917, 210,000 persons were vaccinated throughout the country and 356 patients treated at the Laboratory for rabies. Clinics for venereal diseases have been established at Casablanca, Fez, Rabat, and Marrakech. More than 15,000 cases were treated in 1917. Ophthalmic clinics in the same cities gave in 1917, 44,600 consultations. Radiotherapy.
True, the patients of this royal physician are nearly all of them poor people, and it is for their benefit that he has converted one of his castles into an ophthalmic hospital, and another palace into a species of convalescent home and resort, where poor gentlefolk and government servants with inadequate means can spend a couple of weeks in the country free of all cost.
Sympathectomy has failed to secure a place in ophthalmic surgery, sclerotomy has not been found adequate, and cyclodialysis is not sufficiently simple of execution or permanently beneficial in its results to give it prominence. Of the operations proposed for the formation of a filtering cicatrix, those of Elliot and Lagrange are justifiably the most popular.
In the streets, it was annoying entering the eyes, nostrils, and mouth, and grating under the teeth. My ophthalmic patients generally suffered a relapse, and an unusual number of new cases soon after presented themselves. Were such heavy sand-storms of frequent occurrence, diseases of the visual organs would prevail to a destructive extent.
Bower saw a woman at the Gloucester Infirmary who had been stabbed in the eye by the end of an umbrella. There was profuse hemorrhage from the nostrils and left eye, but no signs indicative of its origin. Death shortly ensued, and at the necropsy a fracture through the roof of the orbit was revealed, the umbrella point having completely severed the optic nerve and divided the ophthalmic artery.
It is logical, therefore, to regard this point in our color-scale as its tonic "middle C" though each color, just as in music each note, is itself the tonic of a scale of its own. Mr. Louis Wilson the author of the above "ophthalmic color scale" makes the same affiliation between sanguine, or blood color, and middle C, led thereto by scientific reasons entirely unassociated with symbolism.
