Summary "Treatment of the diseases of the eye, by means of prussic acid vapour, and other medicinal agents" by A. Turnbull, M.D., is a scientific publication written in the early 19th century, specifically in 1843. The book explores innovative approaches to ophthalmic diseases, centered around the use of prussic acid vapor as a treatment method. It presents various medical cases where this treatment was applied, highlighting its effects and efficacy, against the backdrop of conventional treatments at the time. The book begins with a preface that acknowledges the author's professional challenges and expresses hope that the work will be of value to the medical community. Turnbull details specific cases that illustrate the application of prussic acid vapor for various conditions like opacity of the cornea, staphyloma, cataracts, and amaurosis. He provides an analysis of the outcomes, often noting significant improvements in patients who were previously deemed incurable by traditional methods. Throughout the text, Turnbull emphasizes the practical efficacy and distinct actions of prussic acid vapour in treating complex eye conditions, aiming to establish its place within contemporary medical practice.
