This Difeafe is cured by proper Cephalick Purging and alterative Medicines that Open and corroborate the Motory Nerves of the Eyes 5 in order to it I refer the Caurteom Reader to the Cure of a Palfie in general. V The ConVulfion, relating to the Mufiles of the Eyes (called by the Latiner, Strabifmm) when the Pupil of the Eye is not direé'tly oppoled to the vifible Objeét, when the due fituation of the Eye is perverted, by the Convulfion, or Convulfive motion of the Mufcles, belonging to the Eyes, wherein they are involuntarily lifted up or drawn downward, or pulled inWard or outward 3 whereby the natural pofition of the Eye is dil'torted, and the Pulpil too much inclineth to the Nofe when the Addué‘tors are dilalfcéted, and to the Temples, when the Abduétors are difcompofed, and upward when the Elevators are irritated, and downward when the Deprellors of the Eyes are dil'turbed by Convulfive Motions, which are derived from {harp or {alt Recrements alleé'ting the Nervous Liquor, having recourle to the Motory Nerves of the Eyes, which being irritated, do produce Convullive Motions in their Mufeles. In this cafe Bleedingis very proper in a I'lethorick Body, which immediatelyrelieveth the Patient, gentle Purgatives mixed with Cephalichs, an!l proper Alteratives to corroborate the Nerves, are often crowned with good fuccels, to which may be added Bliltering Plaillers, which oftentimes {peak eale to the Patient; as I have experimented in Children (with good fuccels) labouring with frequent Convulfive Motions of the Mufcles, difiorting the Eyes. Another IDiIEale, af'feétive of the Mufcles of the Eyes, is named "ME by the Greeks, wherein the {mall and weak Mtilcles, are aéted with trembling motions, as unable to keep the Eyes in a firm fixed pollute, by realon the weak antagouilt Mufcles are not able to balance each others conttaétions iira due tonick motion, whereupon the Eye is agitated with frequent, qfliCk Vibrations, called vulgarly Twinklingsin the Eyes. f Difeales alfo Solutx um'ratz'r, do aflliét the Muflzles of the Eyes, as Wounds blows, deep punétures, by which the Eyes are cut and tom, and rendre unfit for fight a of which Learned Sennertm giveth an inltance.
