It is a good thing in ophthalmy for the patient to be seized with diarrhoea. ❋ Unknown (2007)
A great many pilgrims visit the churches of the Crosiers during the octave of St. Odilia's feast (18 July), in order to obtain her protection, and to be cured from ophthalmy, and water blessed in honor of St. Odilia is sent on request by the Crosiers all over the world. ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
It was here that St. Sophronius of Jerusalem was healed of an ophthalmy that had been declared incurable by the physicians ❋ 1840-1916 (1913)
The box stood in the hall when Miss Preston passed through the hall to dinner, and, unless suddenly stricken with ophthalmy, she could not fail to see the flaring notice. ❋ Unknown (1897)
Epidemic ophthalmy, however, was very prevalent in the East Prussian regiment of infantry. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
The character of this ophthalmy was mild, and under treatment the patients completely recovered within a few days (nine days at most) without any destructive lesion remaining. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
Quite different from this form was a severe ophthalmy which appeared in the army toward the end of the year 1813, and also during the years 1814 and 1815. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
Krantz, whom I shall quote later on, has described the ophthalmy prevailing in York's corps as being of a mild character. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
Simultaneously with typhus there appeared the first cases of an epidemic ophthalmy. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
But Bourgeois describes another very severe form of ophthalmy among the soldiers which caused total blindness. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
These severe forms of ophthalmy caused by extreme cold would have ended in gangraene of the affected parts if death had not relieved the misery of these unfortunates. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
Whoever had ophthalmy was immune against typhus and vice versa, and this immunity furnished by one against the other evil lasted a long period of time. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
It appeared when the army on its retreat was in the vicinity of Orscha, attacked many soldiers and resembled the ophthalmy which was prevailing in Egypt; there it was caused by the heated sand reflecting powerfully the rays of the sun; here, by the glaring white snow likewise reflecting the rays of the sun. ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
As already mentioned, an epidemic ophthalmy spread simultaneously with typhus among a large number of the troops returning from Courland, especially among those who formed the rear guard, in which was the first ❋ Achilles Rose (1877)
In the meantime a young man in citizen's dress, whom he did not know, called out from one side of the room to the other, to an old officer in a seedy uniform, with blackened epaulets (a real sea-dog), lean, bronzed, wrinkled, and with eyes bearing the traces of recent ophthalmy, -- ❋ ��mile Gaboriau (1852)
The superficial ophthalmy has generally been esteemed a symptom of scrophula, when it recurs frequently in young persons; but is probably only ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
In violent degrees of ophthalmy the internal parts, as the retina, optic artery, iris, ciliary process, become inflamed, as well as the external ones; hence the least light admitted to the eye occasions intolerable pain. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
Lastly, some mild stimulant, as a weak solution of salt and water, or of white vitriol and water, may be used to wash the fauces with in the decline of the disease, to expedite the absorption of the new vessels, if necessary, as recommended in ophthalmy. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
But as the cuticle peels off in this case after the inflammation ceases, it differs from ophthalmy; and stimulant applications are not indicated at all, except where symptoms of gangrene appear. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
Because these applications impede the exertions of the secerning vessels, which are now in too great action; but any applications of the stimulant kind, as solutions of lead, iron, copper, or of alum, used early in the disease, must be injurious; as they stimulate the secerning vessels, as well as the absorbent vessels, into greater action; exactly as occurs when stimulant eye-waters are used too soon in ophthalmy. ❋ Erasmus Darwin (1766)
