May 3, 1899, fourteen years after his first visit, he again came to me, reporting that his eyes had gotten along very well, with no particular trouble until in 1897, when he took a severe cold, which settled in his left eye, which became badly inflamed. He went to St. Louis, but did not find me, as it was during my summer vacation. Returning home, he consulted Dr. Knapp of Vincennes, Ind., who advised the removal of the left eye, as it seemed hopelessly involved by that time. This was done, and he progressed nicely, the vision of the right eye remaining about the same, though occasionally its vision seemed not quite so clear. This was the situation until two weeks before his visit, when the sight of the eye began to grow dimmer. There was no pain present at any time, but vision gradually grew worse and worse. Examination: V. R. = 8/200; where it had before been 15/100. Ophthalmoscope revealed some increase of the old choroidal atrophic mottling, with a red blurry optic disk. He was placed on gels. θ, three times daily, for a few days, with evident improvement of the optic nerve congestion. He was then given kali hyd. 3d, four times daily. He returned home in a week, keeping up the same remedy. In three weeks he returned to me again, when examination showed decided improvement; with — 13 Ds., V. = 15/100 once more; still keeping up the kali hyd. 3d.; thus having been brought back to the condition which followed the treatment in 1885, and which had remained in _statu quo_ for fourteen years.
