Extraordinary Forfnude-A gentleman came
from Camborne, Cornwall. two years since, and
napsulted the medical officer of the Plymouth Eye
rmary, on account Ut shot which entered his
Eeye ball four years and hall before, viz
In February, 1927, from gun fired at wood.
cock by another person. producing instant blind
ness in the left eye, and unceasing pain from that
time. In exploring the eye for the shot, through
fs,ulous opening in the sclerotica, bony and
crystalizcd lens was extracted. and with it the
supposed cause of his suffering, then attributed
to the spicue of bone. In February. 1855. the
same gentleman returned to Plymouth, and said
that the shut must still be !odged.in the eve, as
his pain was most acute, and his fear of losing
the other eve from sympathy very great. A &c.
cond operation was performed, al his particular
request and the anterior part OF his left eye re =.
moved, aud the vitreOus humor scooped out. -
The eve surpurated and sunk. but still no shot
va. found. On the Esd September. he came a
third time to Plymouth. fearing blindness also in
his right eve, and requested to have the remain.
ins portion Of his left eve ex,irpated. which was
done. In that part of the optic nerve which ex.
pands and forms the retina. was found duck
shot, lmpacted so hrnl that considerable effort
it must have been fixed for six years and six
months, closely embraced BY the nerves Such
the patients extreme fortitude that not even
was his hand raised, nor a syllable of complaint
uttered during the whole operation, certainly the
most painful that can be performed on the human
frame. The patient is doing remarkably we'll,
and already rewarded with relief for.his pprsever.
