Abstract
A MAN of fifty years of age, knocked down by a bus in 1942, sustained fractures of facial bones on the left side, was unconscious for ten days, saw double for six months, had electrical treatment and recovered. There were no brain injuries, but severe facial paralysis on the left side. In 1944 he was brought by a friend, Mr. W. Macaulay, and proved an accurate and consistent observer. The left eye was his better eye before the accident.
