The institutes and practice of surgery: being the outlines of a course of lectures . rsons are most subject to cataract, though the diseasemay occur at any period of life; indeed new-born infantsare not exempt from it, and it has sometimes happened thatall the children of a numerous family have been born withcataracts in both eyes. Persons whose eyes are much ex-posed to vivid and reflected lights are said to be peculiarlyliable to cataract. The existence of cataract may be determined generally, by the following s)mptoms. In the commencement, thepatient is often sensible of a diminution of sight long be-fore any opacity can be observed behind the pupil. Ob-jects, moreover, especially white ones, appear to him as ifenveloped in mist or smoke, and when the eye is suddenlyexposed to a strong light, vision is nearly destroyed. Ina dull light, on the contrary, vision is more distinct, be-cause the pupil being expanded, the rays of light, besidestheir increased quantity, pass through the thin margin ofthe lens.

Treatment of Cataract.

There are two or three different operations now inuse, each of which it will be proper to describe. Couching or dejwesaion of the cataract, an operationpractised, there is reason to believe, long be
