should not militate against the diagnosis in the face of other characteristic. symptoms. As regards treatment, I have found that curettage nearly always effects a cure. In one case, that I remember particularly, at my clinic, a boy 6 or 7 years of age with deep ulceration of the upper lid extending from the edge back to the fornix and occupying about the middle third. The bacillus was found in this instance. I curetted the ulcer thoroughly and applied formalin (i to 60) and it healed with much less deformity than I had expected. The cure of the local disease was absolute, and it remained so for.three or four years, when the patient disappeared from observation.
