The Cornea however became lefs traniparent, and 
the pupil greatly dilated : but though the pain of 
her eye was fo great, yet the blood-veflels of the 
conjundiive were no way enlarged, nor in the leaft 
redder than that and the fclerotic were before j and, 
from its whitenefs, it appeared no more morbid than 
the other. 
As to the cure : After having bled her plentifully 
in the arm, I applied a bliftering-plaifter to her 
neck, and a gentle repellent collyrium to wafh her 
eye often j purging her every third or fourth day, as 
her flrength permitted, wdth a bolus of about eight 
grains of calomel, given night and morning, with a 
folutive draught, purfuing this method for a month 
or fix weeks 3 in which time flie was bled three 
times more ; and cautioufly obferved my directions 
in her diet. 
But as this method proved of no effect, flie con- 
fulted Doctor Martyne, an eminent phyfician of this 
town, who gave all the affiftance he could, but with 
as little fuccefs, her pain increafng rather than di- 
minifliing j and as the pupil was now enlarged, and 
the cornea became more opake, with great inflam- 
mation of the conjunctive and felerotica, and an 
apparent prominence of the whole eye, when every 
thing hitherto failed, I tried two or three draflic 
purges; but thefe difagreeing very much, I was 
forced to return to my former method. I then cut 
a feton in her neck, which run very much ; but all

The conjunctive became greatly inflamed, with an 
everflon of the upper lid, attended with great pain. 
I often made inciflons with my lancet upon this coat, 
which bled plentifully, and gave her eafe for a day
