The epithelium often takes some time to regenerate. As a rule the results
are satisfactory, although the film is apt to recur in the course of years,
but it may be removed again if necessary.

THE REMOVAL OF FOREIGN BODIES[*** Sub-Section: also precede with 2 blank lines.]

Foreign bodies lodged in the conjunctival sac, unless embedded in the
conjunctiva, are usually found by the surgeon under the upper lid, the
sulcus subtarsalis being a favourite situation. They are easily removed
with a spud or needle, after the instillation of a drop of 4% cocaine

Overview of sub-Sections

Precede a Section or a sub-section with two blank lines unless the Project Comments specify otherwise. Some Post-Processors may prefer one blank line, so if it isn't covered, ASK; particularly in cases like this one, where they immediately follow a higher-level Section heading.

Identification of sub-Sections

So, how do you know whether something is a Section or a sub-Section? The Project Comments or Discussion may describe the hierarchy. If not, check the Table of Contents: if the heading is listed there, and isn't a Chapter heading, it's a Section heading; but many ToCs don't list Sections. Next, look at preceding pages to see how the other Section / sub-Section headings look in comparison to this one. (To see earlier pages, go to the Project page, click the link next to "Page Detail," then click your page in the "Image" column and use the "Prev" button.)
