DISEASES OF THE EYES. 



Diseases of the eye require to be treated by men 

 of skill and attention : some of them proceed from 

 external injuries affecting the globe of the eye; 

 while others arise from internal accidents affecting 

 the humours within the globe, as from plethora, or 

 redundancy of blood in the body. In all recent 

 disorders from external injuries, such as blows, 

 bruises, hurts, &c. and the eyelid attended with 

 swelling and inflammation, the eye must first be 

 washed with a little of the following eye-water.

Take — Camphor, two drachras, dissolved in two 

 ounces of rectified spirit of wine ; 

 Goulard's extract, one ounce ; 

 Rose water, one quart : 

 Shake all together in a bottle for use.
