"There's some people in town that say the doc is a fair to middlin' diagnostician and prescription-writer, but let me whisper this to you but for heaven's sake don't tell him I said so don't you ever go to him for anything more serious than a pendectomy of the left ear or a strabismus of the cardiograph."
Why did the Boy Chief turn pale, and clutch at the tent-pole for support? Why, indeed! "Eliza J. Sniffen," gasped Jenkins, "aged fourteen, red-haired, with a slight tendency to strabismus?" "The same." "Heaven help me! She died by my mandate!" "Traitor!" shrieked Chitterlings, rushing at Jenkins with a drawn poniard. But a figure interposed.
"How comes the revolution?" the slave chained next to him leaned over and asked in a hoarse whisper. "Very funny, ha-ha," Jason grumbled, then moved closer for a better look at the man who had a fine case of strabismus, his eyes pointing in independent directions. "You look familiar ... are you the new slave I talked to today?"
Perverseness is really moral strabismus, and I am shocked to think what a multitude of squint-eyed souls there will be, when we come to look into one another's faces in the "undress of immortality." "The world is God's seed-bed. He has planted deep and multitudinously, and many things there are which have not yet come up."
When, for any cause, the coördination is faulty, "cross eye," technically called strabismus, is produced. Thus, if the internal rectus is shortened, the eye turns in; if the external rectus, the eye turns out, producing what is known as "wall eye."
Anastasius I had one black eye and the other blue, from whence he derived his name "Dicore," by which this Emperor of the Orient was generally known. Two distinct colors have been seen in an iris. Berry gives a colored illustration of such a case. The varieties of strabismus are so common that they will be passed without mention.
Sending for the surgeon does not solve the difficulty; he may be a man who cuts corns and cataracts who only operates for strabismus, or makes new noses for Peninsular heroes. In fact, if you don’t hit the right number and it’s a large lottery you may go out of the world without even the benefit of physic. This great system, however, does not end with human life.
At first sight I believed it was an illusion, caused by fatigue of the eye and some new kind of strabismus, but I had to yield to the evidence. After the 19th of January I simply passed from wonder to wonder; successively the Orontes, the Euphrates, the Phison, the Ganges, and the larger part of the other canals, displayed themselves very clearly and indisputably duplicated.
