• See one in Dr. Forbes Winslow's “Obscure Diseases of the Brain and Mind.” London, 1863, p. 471. Dr. Brächet tells of a man who found that his vision had acquired astonishing capacity since the previous day. He could dis· tinguieh the most minute objects at an enormous distance. Five hours afterwards he felt a slight headache, and in a few hours more was seized with apoplexy, and died the next night. A recent coagulum of blood was found in the right optic thalamus. The inflammation which had preceded this effusion had affeoted a part of the brain immediately concerned in vision. Google Scholar
