While breaking tiny phial containing
lymph for the purpose of vaccinating
an infant a particle of the glass few

was an almost microscopic quantity of

The doctor realized the danger of
vaccination to which he was exposed,
and Immediately bathed his eye So
tender, however. is the skin OF the eye,
that the glass made a minute scratch,
and a day or so afterward the usual
symptoms which follow incubation
gradually appeared.
The pain and discomfort which ordi-
narily arise from the operation in this
instance are acutely aggravated, and he
is going through exactly the same ex-
perience as II he had been vaccinated

consequence the eye is never at rest
but IL is not considered likely that the
sight OF the unfortunate doctor will
