CHAP. XI. Of Lippitudo, or Bleare-eyes.
THere are many whose eyes are never dry, but alwaies flow with a thinne, acrid and hot humour, which causeth roughnesse, and upon small occasi∣ons inflammations, blear or blood-shot eies, and at length also Strabismut or sqinting. Lippitudo is nothing else but a certaine white filth flowing * 1.1 from the eyes, which oft times agglutinates or joynes together the eye-lids. This disease often troubles all the life time, and is to be cured by no remedy: in some it

is cureable. Such as have this disease from their infancy, are not to be cured, for it remaines with them till their dying day. For large heads, and such as are repleate with acride or much excrementitious phlegme, scarce yeeld to medicines. There is much difference whether the phlegme flow downe by the internall vessels under the scull, or by the externall which are betweene the skull and the skin, or by both. For if the internall veines cast forth this matter, it will be difficultly cured, if it bee cured at all. But if the externall vessels cast it forth, that cure is not unprofitable, which having used medicines respecting the whole body, applyes astringent medi∣cines to the shaved crown, as Empl. contra rupturam, which may streighten the veines, and as it were suspend the phlegme, useth cupping, and commands frictions to bee made towards the hinde part of the head, and lastly, maketh a Seton in the necke. There are some who cauterize the toppe of the crowne with a hot iron, even to the bone, so that it may cast a scaile, thus to divert and stay the defluxion. For locall * 1.2 medicines, a Collyrium made with a good quantity of rosewater, with a little vitrioll dissolved therein, may serve for all.
