6 Should future investigations confirm my experience, viz., that in no case of vivid illumination of the face (as described above) does the one pupil remain dark while the other is illuminated (that is, in healthy individuals), this phenomenon, when exhibited in thin, slightlybuilt individuals, might give a positive result, viz., be a proof of the presence of pus in the antrum.Google Scholar
