with a fine knife, I succeeded in cutting down by the side of
the body and tilting it out. Examination with a 1/5 inch objective
confirmed my opinion that it was the point of the bee-sting.

"The barbed formation of the point explains how, under the stroking
with the finger, it was forced through the dense tarsal cartilage and
against the cornea of the eye."

There is a story told in La Medecine Moderne of a seamstress of Berlin
who was in the habit of allowing her dog to lick her face. She was
attacked with a severe inflammation of the right eye, which had to be
enucleated, and was found full of tenia echinococcus, evidently derived
from the dog's tongue.

Gabb mentions a case of epistaxis in which the blood welled up through
the lacrimal ducts and suffused into the eye so that it was constantly
necessary to wipe the lower eyelid, and the discharge ceased only when
the nose stopped bleeding. A brief editorial note on epistaxis through
the eyes, referring to a case in the Medical News of November 30, 1895,
provoked further reports from numerous correspondents. Among others,
the following:--

"Dr. T. L. Wilson of Bellwood, Pa., relates the case of an old lady of
seventy-eight whom he found with the blood gushing from the nostrils.
After plugging the nares thoroughly with absorbent cotton dusted with
tannic acid he was surprised to see the blood ooze out around the
eyelids and trickle down the cheeks. This oozing continued for the
greater part of an hour, being controlled by applications of ice to
both sides of the nose."

"Dr. F. L. Donlon of New York City reports the case of a married woman,
about fifty years old, in whom epistaxis set in suddenly at 11 P.M.,
and had continued for several hours, when the anterior nares were
plugged. In a short time the woman complained that she could scarcely
see, owing to the welling up of blood in the eyes and trickling down
her face. The bleeding only ceased when the posterior nares also were
plugged."

"Dr. T. G. Wright of Plainville, Conn., narrates the case of a young
man whom he found in the night, bleeding profusely, and having already
lost a large amount of blood. Shortly after plugging both anterior and
posterior nares the blood found its way through the lacrimal ducts to
the eyes and trickled down the cheeks."

"Dr. Charles W. Crumb cites the case of a man, sixty-five years old,
with chronic nephritis, in whom a slight bruise of the nose was
followed by epistaxis la
