WEAK EYES.

It often happens that, after an acute attack, the eyes are left in a weak state, when there is a copious secretion of fluid continually running from them. In such cases, the eyes may be washed, night and morning, with pure cold water, and the general health must be improved: for the latter purpose, the following preparation is recommended:—

Manna,	1 ounce.
Powdered gentian,	1 tea-spoonful.
Powdered mandrake,	half a tea-spoonful.

Rub them together in a mortar, and give a pill, about the size of a hazel-nut, every night. If the manna is dry, a little honey will be necessary to amalgamate the mass.
