lion Powders. (See Appendix.) In the beginning of an attack 

 bathe the eye with warm water and apply a few drops with a soft 

 feather of Dr. LeGear's Eye Water (see Appendix) night and

 talline lens, or its capsule, and can be recognized by a white spot 

 in the pupil, which spot may be large or small.

 long standing they can be removed by using Dr. LeGear's Eye 

 Water twice per day for one or two weeks. 



After giving the Eye Water a fair trial and it fails to remove 

 them, try the following lotion:
