Author Description

Excerpt from Handbook of the Diseases of the Eye: Their Pathology and Treatment We have deemed it expedient, therefore, to present this branch in a condensed form; at the same time trying to preserve whatever has been actually acquired to the sci ence of Ophthalmology. The book is divided into two parts: the first includes the pathology and treatment of eye-diseases; and the second, the Operative surgery of the eye. The practical portions of the work are given with as much detail as pos sible, and from the experience of the author; and it is hoped they will prove a useful guide, not alone to those entering this interesting department of medicine, but also to the busy practitioner, who finds himself unable to peruse the more elaborate treatises on this subject.
