TATT00ING 4 CHILD's EYE.BALL
a Remarkably SkiiIfuI Operation in
n ~. Louis Hospital.

An ingenious and skilful operation
was performed upon Il little girl yoster-
day afternoon at st. Joseph's lniirmary.
The child had previously suffered from
an attack of what is tcchcnically term
ed ''ulccrativs kcralitis;' III other
words, an liberation Of the transparent
portion of the eye-ball. This intlamma-
ton and liberation having subsidized,
there was left of course, what always
follows, II scar. This scar in the cor
ner is Opaque and of II milky color, and
it intcrfcred with the vision by OH
structing the rays of light as they pass
into the eye, and ut the same time
produces IN Objectionable deformity
which no one wishes to have
The object to be secured by
by the operation were two-fold; First to
remove tho deformity; second, to re-
store the vision of the afflicted eye.
The first object was the one sought in
yesterdays operation. The child was
put under the influence of and an
aesthetic, and then a drop ofink being
placed upon this spot, the operator
made an innumcrablc number of in
cisions into it with needle knife; that
is to say, 10y process of tattoong col
ored this white spot black. This Sc
cures the first object; the second re-
mains to be secured by another opera
ton, because the obstruction to vision
still remains, though being Of the color
Of the pupil or the iris, Is not dis
tilEulshable by any hut very close
observer.
The iris, or colored curtain which
hangs behind the transparent portion
Of the globe, and which give the heav-
cnly blue, or the cold gray, or the
passionate black eye, according as ma
ture chooses to color ii, has circular
aperture for the admission Of rays OF
light, and as this opacity Of the corner
is in front OF the aperture, excluding
those rays of light, there remains but
one thing To do, and that is to make
another opening in the curtain, or to
extend the one already made. fit il
impossible To go through an obstruction
or TO remove IT, then the simplest thing
of course is to go around it, That is
what is done by this operation Of cut
ting out portion Of the iris, which il
called "iridectomy." This piece OF the
iris is usually taken out just above the
pupil for the reason that it il less no.
