This is to be given every morning, and con- 

 tinued five or six days. A stable, properly

Inflammation of the Eyt^, 



When the eye is inflamed, it loses part of 

 its beautiful transparency, appearing then as 

 if covered with a film ; the lids are partially 

 closed, and the haws become more visil>le. 

 Should the infiannnation have been brought 

 on by some external injury, and particularly 

 if it be not very considerable, the eye lotion 

 will be sufficient to remove it ; but in more 

 violent cases it will be necessary also to bleed 

 moderately and give a laxative ball. By these 

 means, infiammation arising from external in- 

 jury may generally be cured in a short time.
