Abadie reports a case of a man, in whom thevitreous of each eye was disorganized from intra-ocular hemorrhage, which had lasted for eighteen 282 ELECTEICITY IN DISEASES OF THE EYE. months. He had only light perception. Abadiepenetrated the left eye with a positive needle foreight millimeters, for five minutes, using three tofour m. a. of current. The patient counted fingersnext day. After one month, he could readily readthe house numbers. The right eye remained withonly light Hirschberg Small Magnet. CHAPTER VI. THE DIAGNOSIS OF A FOEEIGN BODY INTHE EYE AND MAGNET OPERATIONS. After getting the history of the case and ex-amining the exterior of the eye, the ophthalmoscopeshould be used: Then, the field of vision should betaken to determine whether there is any obscurearea. Next, apply the tip of the magnet to variousparts of the eye. If pain results, it is a positive in-dication of the presence of a magnetizable body—steel or iron—within the eye. The absence of painis not conclusive evidence that no foreign body ispresent, for it may be too remote or too firmly em-bedded to move. In regard to the question of securing a skia-graph, prior to the attempt to extract the foreignbody by magnet, it depends, in my opinion, upon themethod of operation to be adopted. If the magnet isto be applied to the centre of the cornea, the distanceof the foreign body from the magnet will be aboutthe same wherever
