Side 2 - CYRIACK, this three years day these eyes, though clear, To outward view, of blemish or of spot, Bereft of light, their seeing have forgot ; Nor to their idle orbs doth sight appear Of sun, or moon, or star, throughout the year, Or man, or woman. Yet I argue not Against Heaven's hand or will, nor bate a jot Of heart or hope ; but still bear up and steer Right onward. What supports me, dost thou ask ? The conscience, Friend, to have lost them overplied In liberty's defence, my noble task, Of which...
Side 15 - Hampstead-heath and the Surrey hills; PUKE water is abundant (?), and would flow under almost every street; the artificial heat and gas, noisome as it sometimes is, ascends in a vast column to the sky, and is replaced by under-currents from the surrounding country.

A fit of passion is a common cause of squinting in children. It probably acts by inducing a degree of apoplexy. Both eyes are often affected, but the one more than the other. A child has been known to squint for months after a violent fit of crying. A little boy awoke in the middle of the night on board a steam-boat ; he was greatly alarmed, and soon after was observed...
Side 30 - ... or not. In all cases of incipient cataract, I should recommend, occasionally, a moderate abstraction of blood from behind the ears, and the application of a small blister to the nape of the neck, or behind the ears, which should be kept open some weeks. After the chronic inflammation is subdued, the cataract is to be touched every morning with a solution of the potassa cum calce, beginning with a weak solution, and increasing it gradually. In the incipient stage of cataract I am convinced much...
Side 7 - ... chamber, the walls of which are blackened so as to prevent reflection and the resulting irregular illumination which would interfere with the definition of images; in front, it presents an opening for the admission of rays of light; in this aperture is placed a glass lens or series of lenses designed to refract the rays of light and bring them to a focus upon the sensitive plate placed in the back of the instrument ; the latter is capable of being moved forward or backward so that its position...

Side 18 - Counter-irritation, by means of blisters behind the ears or to the nape of the neck, a warm plaister between the shoulders, or a caustic issue in the neck, is often attended with benefit.
Side 37 - We find it thickened, and more or less of its edge ulcerated. In some instances, the outer angle of the lids is the seat of the disease. It appears not unfrequently to commence in the form of a wart, which, being picked off with the finger, leaves a raw surface, exposed to the irritation of the tears, and apt to spread by ulceration. In other cases, the origin of this disease appears to be an encysted tumour, which, allowed to burst on the inside, or, it may be, on the outside of the eyelid, becomes...
