The author has shown by numerous experiments on the eyes of rabbits the truth of Andogski's statement that the severity of post-operative infectiondepends partly on the presence of lens fragments. If portions of the lens are in the anterior chamber, the introduction of a virulent culture of staphylococcus aureus produces panophthalmitis; . . . In order to combat the infection, the author introduces into the anterior chamber small flat sticks of bougies of sterilized iodoform, which he kneads with gum arabic and a little glycerine to the desired size.
