Eyelid, in about a Fortnight, recovered its health- 
ful and proper Situation, I did not think proper to 
torment the poor Patient with the Operation of th-e 
Trichiafis ; which, tho’ very eafy to the Operator, 
is not fo to the Patient 5 and I found, by the Appli- 
cation of proper Topicks, the Eyelid recovered 
Strength daily; and I judged by the Continuance of 
the fame Method it would loon be well. 
It will not be eafy to account how Sight fhould 
remain after the Optic Nerve was fo ftretched ; 
which it muft be in a very confiderable manner in 
this Cafe ; and how it came to contract or recover 
itfelf fo foon, after being fo great a while extended. 
It is true, that while the Optic Nerve was in its 
State of Extenfion, the Sight was impaired; but, 
after feven Years Extenfion, how it came to recover 
itfelf in a Month’s time, without any Alteration in 
the Sight, but for the better,. I leave to the Specu- 
lation of the Curious. It is likewife pretty extraordi- 
nary how the Mufcles, after having been fo many 
Years in Difufe, fhould recover their natural Adion in 
fo fhort a time. See Tab. II. Fig. - 8 .
