our Hoj^itaL Upon his admifliQn I examined his cafe as 
particularly as I could, and judg'd (by his feeing all things 
dmhlethus) th^t the Optic Nerves wqtq affeiteo, and that 
it was gone fo far that it would probably end in a ^2^^^<* 
ferenor, and accordingly it fell out not long after his be- 
ing in the Holpitaly which confirms me in the Opinion a- 
bout Vi^on I formerly communicated to the ^Society, c 
In this difficult and extraordinary cafe, where the Pa- 
tient had been folong afflifted, and the Fits grew datly 
worfe upon him (fo that he had feveral in a day, which 
he toM me made his Life fo uneafy, that he did not care 
what was done with him^ we endeavoured by all ways we 
could to relieve him. Accordingly we order d the Ce- 
phalic Pills ^ a,nd an Ele£luary ( which we ufe in the Hojpi* 
tal in Epileptic Cafes) wkich he receiv'd much benefit by : 
he was alio (by intervals) bled in the Jugulars in the 
Haemorrhoids and by Leeches which alio gave him good 
relief j his head was fliaved , blifters applyed to his Neck, 
and a Seton made fometime after, <Scc. we endeavouring 
by all manner of Revulfions to derive the humour ano- 
ther way, if it were poffible ; but it was top much fixt, 
and of too long ftanding, fo that about two months after 
he had been under our care (and now and then not without 
fome profped: of Relief) a Gutta Strena feiz d on his 
right Eye, that he could not feeat all on that fide ; but 
then the duplicity ceas dand he faw all Objeds finglea- 
gain as before, which is another confirmation of thefore- 
mention'd Opinion. 
In the mean time the left Eye being ftill in danger, 
we further order'd (befides the continuance of the for- 
mer Eleduary^ a Fontanel about the meeting of the i"^- 
gi^tal ^iVid Lamb do Old Sutures^ and Cupping-glafTes to his 
Xseck and Shoulders, that nothing might be left unat-
