![t Co*. EENEEL'S EYE-WATER. This lotion is a valuable remedy in inflammatory affections of the eye ; such as ophthalmia, ulcers of the cornea, inflam- mation accompanying ptyrigium, epiphora, inflammation of the nasal duct, swelling and inflammation of the eye-lids, mor- bid secretion of the glands of the eye, inflammation occasion- ed by external violence or from some extraneous matter having lodged upon the ball of the eye for some time, or from the abuse of ardent spirits, &c. Directions. In the morning and at bed time, the*inflamed eye should be washed with this lotion, having washed it immediately before with cold water. The eye should also be washed four or five times a day with fresh water; aud if there should be much discharge, it may be washed more frequently with cold water. If the eye should be very much inflamed, or very painful, take a moderate dose of purgative pills or salts, twice or three times a *veek, so long as the eye is inflamed, and re- frain from eating meat and much gross diet, and from the use of ardent spirits. Do not expose your eyes to a strong light, and keep out of the wind and dust. Keep your feet warm and dry, and do not confine your eye with a thick bandage. The head and eyes should be kept cool. So long- as your eyes are sore, you should not attempt to read or ex- amine small objects. The vial should be well shaken before using the lotion.
