    pressure produce profound influences on die more distant vessels, so that even in case of embolism the clot may be made to absorb or to disappear. It is also thought that by such means collateral circula- tion is favored. These facts indicate the application of the method. As to the drug used in the most frequent forms of corneal diseases, such as phlyctenular, oxide of mer- cury and corrosive sublimate ointments may be em- ployed. In other forms of corneal infiltration in which absorption is slow, the following salve has been recommended by Mitvalsky : I. R . Unguenti hydrargyri cinerei, 30C.C. (gr. 1) Vaselini amari albae,1 60 c.c. (gr. c) Lanolini purissae, 3 o c.c. (gr. 1). Misce et fiat in unguentum. Signa.—Ointment for eye. (Mitvalsky.) Massage is contraindicated in irritative conditions ; therefore, as a rule, it should not be employed dur- ing- the first staees of inflammation. In several countries it is used in trachoma. Hirschberg employs it very actively in cases of em- bolism of the retinal artery, taking care to first cocainize the eye. Forster recommends it to be used during the operation for artificial maturation of cataract. Burchardt makes it an important adju- vant in the treatment of blennorrhagia. Finally, the method is useful in the treatment of rhagades at the angles of the lids. To this form of mechanic treatment belong a series German Pharmacopeia.
