Excerpt from The Practitioner, Vol. 9: A Monthly Journal of Therapeutics, July to December December 28th. - The patient before us, gentlemen, presents a somewhat unusual complication of conditions, the character and tendencies of which it would not be difficult to overlook or to mistake. She is a person of spare habit and feeble aspect, with a patch of dense white opacity in the left cornea, and with manifest paralysis of the portio dura on the right side. She is thirty-eight years of age, and tells us that she has three children, and has been three years a widow, supporting herself and two of the children by her needle and by working at a mangle. Five weeks ago she had a "fit, " and recovered from it with the right half of the face paralysed as you now see it. The leucoma of the left eye dates from the time when she was four years old, and is the result of an abscess or ulcer of the cornea following measles. With this eye she has never had useful vision, and she now complains that the other, the sound eye, has been lately failing.
