INFLAMMATION OP THE HAW. 



This is an inflammation of the membrana nicti- 

 tans situated at the inner corner of the eye, the 

 function of which is to cleanse the eye of any 

 dirt or other foreign substance which may get 

 into it; when inflamed it becomes timid, causing 

 a bulging at the inner corner of the eye, and is 

 commonly known by the term hooks, or haw, in 

 the eye. The treatment consists in bathing the 

 eye with the following wash, two or three times 

 a day : — 



R. Tincture Opium, ^ ounce. 

 Tincture Aconite, 2 drachms. 

 Rainwater, 1 pint. 



Mix all together. Give a purgative ball, but 

 do not under any circumstances have them cut 

 out, as you thus deprive the animal of the means 

 of cleansing the eye of dirt, or other matter getting 

 into this delicate organ.
