"On January 11, 1899, F. K, a weaver, 57 years old, applied at my clinical service at Wills' Hospital. He gave the following history: He was born in Germany. His health was good until 21 years of age. At that time a swelling termed a "goiter" by some government surgeons slowly developed in his neck. The enlargement became so great in size that he was rejected from military service It was unaccompanied by exophthalmos, tachycardia, or any vasomotor symptoms, and gradually disappeared in about 16 years. / He had a chancre on the glans penis 26 years before I saw him. This lasted some five or six weeks, and was repeatedly cauterized, but was not followed by any glandular enlargements, skin-eruptions, or alopecia Six years after this he began to complain of occasional diplopia. / Many years ago, possibly about 20, he went to Wills' Hospital for glasses, though he does not remember the exact date of the visit nor the name of the attending surgeon. / In 1857 his eyes were examined by Dr. A. G. Heyl at the Hospital of the Protestant Episcopal Church in Philadelphia. Dr. Heyl informed him that "a small vessel which would eventually give him trouble was developing in his right eye." / He again sought advice at Wills' Hospital 12 years later . . ."

[2] pp. Self-wraps. / J. L., a 23-year-old engineer, applied at my clinic at Walls Hospital two hours after having hours after having been hit in the left eye with "a piece of red-hot chisel forging." The patient had been standing at right angles to a fellow workman who had struck the heated metal with a hammer, the injured eye being upon the opposite who was side. A physician, who was immediately summoned, removed a slightly wedge-shaped mass of steel, two centimeters long, one and seven-tenths centimeters wide, and seven-tenths and five tenths of a centimeter thick, from the remaining portion of the eyeball. The mass weighed about 54 grammes. / The appearance of the eye when first seen by me, was remarkable. The anterior segment of the eyeball, including the cornea, the greater portion of the ciliary zone of the sclera, the iris, the crystalline lens, the ciliary body, and the muscles, were gone. Through the large irregular opening in the sclera could be seen the dry and partially burned inner surface of the remaining portion of the sclerotic. Not a trace of the intraocular tunics or the vitreous humor remained the eyeball was completely eviscerated. / The borders of the remaining conjunctiva were burnt, and the lower-outer portion of the membrane was torn and ragged Both the upper and the lower lids had their middle thirds almost entirely destroyed. The edges of the injured tissues were so scared that they were friable, analgesic, and free from haemorrhage." / Charles Augustus Oliver, "Philadelphia ophthalmologist, was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, on 14 December 1853; he was the son of physician George Powell Oliver. Oliver died of pulmonary edema on 8 April 1911. Oliver received his M.D. from the University of Pennsylvania in 1876. After a residency at Philadelphia Hospital, he became Clinical Clerk at Wills Eye Hospital and, in 1890, Attending Surgeon. Oliver was Consulting Ophthalmic Surgeon at Philadelphia Hospital and helped to establish clinical services for eye diseases at St. Mary's, St. Agnes, and Presbyterian Hospital. From 1897 to 1909, he taught ophthalmology at Woman's Medical College of Pennsylvania. Oliver worked closely with William F. Norris, and they collaborated on the Text-book of ophthalmology and the System of diseases of the eye. In 1884, Charles A. Oliver was elected to fellowship in the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. He was also a member of the American Ophthalmological Society, the Pathological Society of Philadelphia, and the Philadelphia Neurological Society." – The College of Physicians of Philadelphia, Historical Medical Library.
