The shorter, blunt-pointed blade of the scissors was then passed behind the upper border of the pupil, and the long sharp-pointed...

These particles have a determinate outline, are of some thickness, and possess a fine granular aspect....
Page 265 - ... rigidly occluded. If the exploratory probe is arrested at the point, where the canals coalesce and join the sac, the fact may be known, by noticing that the skin near the tendo oculi is moved when the probe is moved and an elastic resistance is experienced ; whereas, if the probe has entered the sac, it hits against the inner bony wall, and the skin is motionless. Where the sac is not distended, attention to this point is particularly necessary, and it is also requisite...
Page 125 - ... was the first who brought the cornea into the domain of experiment. Whilst formerly the transparent organs only had served to ascertain, by experiments, the occurrences at the the blood-vessels, we find in Bowman, in accordance with Redfern,4 the nutritional disturbances put into the foreground.
