Cataract, it is announced, has been cured
by o French physician without an opera
ton. The new process is to apply to the
diseased eye a phosphuretted eye-wash,
which gradually restores the transparency
OF the crystalline lens from circumference to
the centre, which is the last to yield. One
huld ounce of oil of sweet almonda and O.
grain and half of phosphorusare dissolved
IN water bath of 176 degrees Fahrenheit,
in full and closed vessel A fluid drachm
OF the solution should be dropped between
the eye-lids three or four times day, for
several months, or until the cure is com
pleted.
