THE BRITISH JOURNAL OF OPHTHALMOLOGYAfter recovering from this he never felt really well again, had various vague pains, thought to be rheumatic, and sensations as if his head were being irawn downward and forward. 'He had diplopia for several weeks before actually going to bed, and had also bluish mists before his eyes. He engaged a locum tenens apparently about January 20, and went to. bed. The following day he was practically comatose, and had no recollection for several days after this. I saw him on February 25 with Dr. Randall, Wimbledon. He was then partially conscious, with double ptosis and defective eye movements. He gradually improved, and in two months was at work. I saw him about a year later. He had continued at work and was able to carry on without much difficulty. No defective ocular movements were present, but he complained of stiffness, and his aspect! was that of a patient with slight paralysis agitans without tremor. , He has continued to improve steadily. These cases, in which the affection was not severe-numbers 4 and 5-are, I think, of peculiar interest, for the symptoms were comparatively slight and the recovery was practically complete. The other cases are more marked, evidently the result of a more severe intoxication, but in all of them the eye symptoms were distinct and in some of the cases striking.
