Langley Park. William Sellars.
1. "The said William Sellars has had his right eye removed owing to the accident on 5th December, 1911. He also has hemianopia, having completely lost the sight of the left half of the field of view in his left eye. He also has Miners' Nystagmus, and his condition is such that he is totally incapacitated for work.
2. The incapacity of the said William Sellars is total. As he has lost the sight of his right eye from his work and has Miners’ Nystagmus, in my opinion, his total incapacity for work is attributable to these causes.
Dated this 8th day of February, 1924.
(Signed) A. S. PERCIVAL,
Medical Referee."
