^himour cor.tinaed coming out of the Orifice for fome* 
time. VVe applied nothing to the Eye, but a Comprefs 
(or Stupe) dipt in Mixture of four Ounces of Plan- 
tain-water, and two Ounces of a Vulnerary Water. 
The day after the Operation, the upper , part of the 
Corned was tranfparent, the lower parr not^ fo red, and 
the whole Membrane appear’d to have recover’d its natu- 
ral Con \*exity. It feems that all the extravafatcd Blood 
had quite run out, had the lower part of the Cornea been 
open'd, and remain’d fo for fome time. 
I obferved the Alterations of the Eye for three days

The 5'th day after' the’ two firft Incifions I caufed a 
third to be made at the bottom ot the Cornea : there run 
out fome drops of the Humour, and continued fo to do ^ 
for fome tithe 5 and'in two days-after, the Eye recover'd; 
its natural Tranfparency. 
The Pu^il was now very much dilated 5 but by little

cannot fufped that the Lancette, in making the Incifion 
on the Cornea, any ways touch'd upon the Iris, becaule 
the Pupil continued exadly round : And a firoke, that is 
able to divide the continuity of the Parts of theEye, and 
cauf^ a fuffufion of Blood, is but too capable of deprive 
ing the Iris of its natural Power ot Contra^ing,
