The Eyes diseases are manifold but their inflammation is the most common; their causes are External, as Falls, Blows, Dust, Smoke, &c. or internal, name∣ly a defluxion flowing to the Eye. It is known by the heavine••s of the Head, the Eyes redness, pain, swelling, and pulsation of its Arteries. It is cured by the same administration of universal
remedies as in Phlegmons, and the due application of Topical ones, whereof this Collire is of a perspicuous effect.
Take Rose and Plantain Water, of each half an Ounce, the mucilage of Gum Tragacant, two Ounces, and the White of an Egg; make a Collire to Distil luke-warm in the Eye, applying upon it a double Linnen Cloth dipped in the same Collire.
The Blood of Doves, Pigeons, or Hens instilled warm in the Eye miti∣gates the pain of it, and is its proper Balm. But if a Relapse is feared, Cups applied on the Shoulders, and an Issue in the Pole are very fit to divert the Fluxion.
