    Cum morbus ex injuriis capiti illatis oritur, cerebrum quoque affici non sine causa suspi¬ camur, hinc gravius periculum imminet. Inter effedlus qui ex Ophthalmia saepe pro¬ fluunt, corneae maculae, et alia ejus vitia, qui¬ bus obscurior fit visus vel omnino aboletur, enumerari merentur. Si h^ maculae non per totam crassitudinem corneae extenduntur, gra- datim saepe evanescunt praesertim si medi¬ camenta idonea cito et perite adhibeantur. C Ulcuscula * Dom. Noble de hoc agens, sic habet: “ If the increased a£lion and sensation are not very vio- “ lent, the vessels in manj parts of the cornea se- crete a small quantitj of pus, which is deposited at the extremities, and is not sufficient to produce “ a speck, but gives the eje a whitish muddy ap- pearance, which has been called nebula, or a cloud : the pupil is scarcely visible throughit, and obje£ls are not distinguished by the patient. The orga- nization of the cornea is not much injured by it, as on the inflammation subsiding the opacity is soon absorbed, and the sight returns.” Vide Noble^s Treatise on Ophthalmia.
