If the gonococcus is absent in the adult form, the disease must be due to other pusproducing germs. It will sometimes follow mechanical and chemical accidents or badly treated catarrhal conjunctivitis. Treatment.--In the stage of infiltration cold applications must be kept on the eye continuously. This may be done by keeping a number of small squares of muslin on a block of ice, and transferring one to the eye every minute. The secretion should be washed away with a warm boric acid solution (3 per cent), or some other mild antiseptic, about once every hour. The bowels should be well purged with salines and the patient kept as quiet as possible. If pain is very severe an adult may be given an anodyne. In the stage of pyorrhea the mechanical cleansing of the conjunctiva must be vigorously continued. The upper lid should be turned once a day and its conjunctival surface painted with a 2 per cent solution of nitrate of silver or 20 per cent solution of protargol. If the swelling of the lids is so great as to prevent eversion or to endanger the circulation a canthotomy may be done In the second stage cold applications should be diminished, if not altogether discontinued, owing to their depressing influence upon the nutrition of the cornea. If the cornea becomes hazy or shows a spot of ulceration hot applications should be applied, for 15 minutes at a time, -t or." times a day; atropin or eserin dropped in the eye and the general treatment for corneal ulcers (page 95) followed as closely as is possible under the circumstances.
