Eyes to Cure: If the Eyes be dull, cloudy, or specks, spots, or films begin to appear on them, Take Paracelsus, (Zibethum Occidentale) viz. Human-Dung of a good co∣lour and consistence, dry it by degrees moderately, till it be capable of being reduced to Powder, then powder it and searce it very fine, a lit∣tle of which must be blown once or twice a day into the Eyes, as the nature of the de∣fect requires; then keep it in for a time by closing the Lids, and so wash it off with Eye-bright-water.
