Focal Infection in Diseases of the Eye

چکیده
The operative treatment of chalazion by incision and evacuation of the contents with a curette is correctly described. The treatment of lacrimal abscess by incision, scraping and probing is recommended as preferable to an expectant treatment. Some of the prescriptions which Al-Ghafiqi gives contain curious ingredients. For loss of pigment of the eyelashes or canities the receipt is as follows:-Burn snail shells and triturate with the fat of wild goat or bear and with the mixture massage the palpebral borders. Many of the other remedies are equally surprising. Meyerhof's book, which is called " Le Guide d'Oculistique d'AI-Ghafiqi" is tastefully arrayed in vellum with an Arabic inscription. It is beautifully printed at l'Institut graphique Oliva de Vilanova at Barcelona.
