CONVULSIONS AND SPASMS, APOPLEXY. 77 



The Haw. 



We mention in this connection a curious mechan- 

 ism of the eye more to guard against abuses than to 

 cure disease. Concealed within the inner corner of 

 the eye, the margin only visible, is a black or pied 

 triangular-shapen cartillage called the HAW, with its 

 broad part forward. It is concavCj exactly to suit the 

 glebe of the eye, and convex without, so as to adapt 

 itself to the mucous lining of the lid, and the base of 

 it is reduced to a thin, sharp edge. At the will of 

 the animal this is rapidly protruded from its hiding- 

 place, and passing swiftly over the eye, shovels up 

 every nuisance mixed with tears, and then being 

 suddenly drawn back, the dust or insect is wiped 

 away as the haw again passes under the corner of 

 the eye. The haw is subject in common with other 

 parts of the eye to inflammation and swelling, and 

 senseless grooms term this " the HOOKS," and have 

 been known to draw the haw out and cut it off, to 

 the lasting injury of the organ, 



Such an inflammation only requires the usual 

 treatment, and will be subdued by bathing the eye 

 with THE MARVEL, diluted one half water, and giv- 

 ing the Specific for INFLAMMATION, A A, internally, 

 ten drops as a dose and repeated morning and 

 night.

 with short necks and large blood-vessels, this disease
