![I 10G ] In almost all cases of inflamed eyes, fome advantage will be received from the use of a lhade, which will be found to do as much good, as bandages and poultices often do harm. With respect to the kind of ftiade that is most proper, I would recommend a paste-board hood, to be worn, at a greater or lefs distance from the eyes, as the particular case may require. The hood Ihould be made of a fize, not larger than will keep off the necefsary degree of light, and will be better if lined with black, instead of green, filk, as is commonly done. oculist, and who published in 1729, A treatise on the horny-coat of the eye, &c. almost universally recommends the application of warm water, in diseases, of the eyes, which he orders to be used incefsantly, for twelve hours to- gether, and, as he fays, with great fuccefs. Mr. Ware also, in Additional Remarks on the Opthalmy, in his Re- marks on the jistida lachry7nalis fays, that in fome cases of Opthalmy on applying hot water to the eye, the effect *' was highly grateful, both cooling and Jlrengthening the part ■ to which it was applied. He attributes its good effects, unphilosophically, to the cooling procefs that takes place by the evaporation of the water;—but I must defer entering farther into this question, till I come to fpeak of its opera- tion in abating inflammation.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21439205_0001_0120.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
