Treatments and remedies transcribed from a working Physician's handbook published in the 17th century. Check out the Introduction
For the Eyes. A medicine for sore Eyes, and for the Megrim in the head
Take the white of a new laid Egge clean taken from the yolk, and a spoonfull of white Ginger, and a spoonfull of strong white Vinegar made of Malmsey, or white Wine, and a spoonfull of clean Rose water; but first the white of the Egge must be well beaten, and then to the oyl of the Egge put your other things above written, and beat them all together, then take Flax, as much as will make two plaisters, for either Temple one, with a cloth, and dip it into the medicine, and bind upon every Temple one with a cloth, and take heed the medicine do not touch your Eyes, and do this three or four nights together, and every morning the Eyes will cleave together with the Gumme; but this medicine hath brought to sight them that were eight weeks stark blind.
