WEAK AND INFLAMED EYES

Natural Victorian Cure for Weak and Inflamed Eyes

FROM 1890

1) When the eyes beome inflamed from any cause, do not rub them at all -- such irritation is dangerous -- but bathe them in tepid milk and water. Avoid the glare of strong light.

2) Bathe your eyes night and morning in a tolerably strong solution of salt and water [saltwater]. After bathing the eyes daily for about a week, intermit a day or two, and then resume daily bathing, and so on till your eyes get strong again.

3) Take half an ounce of Golden Seal, pour one-half pint boiling water upon it and let it cool. Bathe the eyes with a linen rag dipped in this, each night before going to bed, and you will soon affect a cure.
