inflammation, became almost immediately arrested, by 

 Mr. Adams's mode of treatinenl, and the patients have 

 been generally discharged from the infirmary in two or three 

 days, with their eyes in as heallhy a slate as they were be- 

 fore the attack of the disease." 



Since the above was written, Mr. Lewis has emploved 

 this practice, with similar success, both in private practice 

 and in the infirmary. 



The powerful results of this practice, I think, fully en- 

 title it to general consideration; and I hasten to lav them 

 before the public with the view of inducing its extensive 

 adoption, and of obtaining, through the medium of your 

 Journal, the information of that success which 1 anticipate. 



The only direction necessary is to exhibit the antim. 

 tart, in doges adapted to the age and constitution of the 

 patient, as soon ajter the commencement of the disease as 

 possible. The ulcerative process frequenilv bcsrins in ten 

 or twelve hours after the accession of mflammation ; and it 

 is evident that the remedy, when that stage of trie disease 

 has begun, must be ineflectual, as is stroncjiy exempllfitd in 

 the case of John Kenny*.
