Since Mackenzies day there has been muchspeculation as to the pathogenesis of sympatheticophthalmia, and numerous experiments have been madewith a view to explaining it. Leber, for example,advanced the theory that sympathetic inflammationwas the result of a septic infectious process in theinjured eye, and that the micro-organisms travelledalong the optic nerves to the sound eye; and his pupilDeutschmann set himself to prove these theories byexperiments conducted on rabbits. He injected fluidcontaining staphylococci into the sheath of an opticnerve, a
