CAP. LXXXIII. De Paralysi, seu oculi resolutione.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is here taken for a want of sense and motion in the eye, when it can neither be mo∣ved to the right side nor to the lest, up nor down, because the Muscles are benummed, and if any sharp remedie be laid to, it cannot feel the same.
If the whole eye be loosed, it is hardly cured, especially in those that are aged.
It is cured, First, by bathing with such herbs as are good for the sinews, having vertue partly to comfort, partly to make thin. Secondly, by applying a Cataplasm made of the same Herbs, putting to it a little Castoreum, carefully provi∣ding that it go not into the eye. Thirdly, by dropping into the eye, in small quantity, the wa∣ter of Fennel, Annis-seeds, Cinnamon and Eye-bright, mingled. Lastly, the blood of a Turtle, or Pigeon, is of singular use.
