    This case appears to me to be one of neuropathic disease of the cornea, associated with a lithaemic or rheumatic diathesis. I have conceived it to be some- what of the order of herpes, involving at first a single locality. Because of a great loss of the pro- tecting epithelium, there was excited a general oedema of the cornea. The loosened epithelium hindered the steady onward flow of the serous fluid so that it escaped from the lamina, and was held be- neath the epithelium in the form of droplets. 235 South Thirteenth Street.
