CHAP. XI.
MYDRIASIS, * 1.1 is the dilatation of the pupil of the eye.
It happeneth either by nature, * 1.2 as from the default of the first conformation, (which is un∣curable) or by chance as a blow, fall, or contu∣sion upon the eye, which causeth the offspring of a humour, to flow down from the brain.
First open a vein, * 1.3 then use cupping-glasses with scarrification, and frictions, whereby the defluxion may be hindered: Take the blood of a turtle-dove, pigeon, or chickin, reaking hot out of the veines, and poure it upon the eye; then apply thereto this Cataplasme.
