Reprinted from: Wills Hospital Reports, Vol. I, no. 1, 1895. / Zentmayer was Assistant Surgeon to the Hospital: Ophthalmologist to the St. Mary's Hospital and Phoenixville Hospital. In his obituary of Posey, Zentmayer recalled writing this first joint paper: "We had the satisfaction not only of having this paper accepted by Dr. Herman Knapp, a most exacting and critical editor, but of receiving a congratulatory letter from him. After we both became attending surgeons, it was rarely that either of us performed a difficult operation without the cooperation of the other. Our intimate friendship endured to the end." (p.20).

They were well written, and showed evidence of careful and thoughtful preparation.

Reprinted from The Philadelphia Medical Journal, September 16, 1900. Abstract: "DELIRIUM following the extraction of cataract is of not rare occurrence. Despite its comparative frequency, however, the subject has received but scant mention in all textbooks upon ophthalmology, and there is a wide difference of opinion among authors regarding its causation. / Having but recently encountered some cases of this nature I determined to report these, together with a series of similar cases from the Wills Eye Hospital records, with a view to ascertaining what the causation of the delirium might be, and what were the best measures to adopt for its prevention and relief. / Disturbances of the mind after operations upon the eye usually follow the removal of cataract; they have, however, been occasionally observed after various other surgical procedures in ophthalmology. The mental derangement, as a rule, takes the form of a delirium which appears usually upon the evening of the third day after the operation and continues a few days to a week, according as the surgeon is prompt in combating it, and fortunate in his choice of remedies."

G., female, sixty-two years of age, consulted the writer in April, 1903, on account of poor sight. She said that she had worn glasses since childhood, having inherited myopia, but that she had had satisfactory vision with her glasses until two years before she came to consultation. At that time both eyes became the seat of a rheumatic iritis, for which she was treated by a colleague. The inflammation was, how- ever, very intense, so that vision was much impaired after the acute symptoms subsided. Upon this a. Seller Inventory # M14779
