Official Medical Referee Cases.
Bearpark. S. Seed.
1. "The said S. Seed complains of a recurrent pain about left brow and I find a greater thickening about the left orbited margin than the right, and I attribute the pain to an injury of the bone that has implicated the nerve filaments affected, and his condition is such that he is in my opinion unable to work when the pain comes on. His left vision has probably always been defective.
2. The incapacity of the said S. Seed is intermittent and is in my opinion entirely due to the accident.
Dated this 7th day of December, 1923.
(Signed) A. S. PERCIVAL,
Medical Referee."
