in surgery, commonly called the eye, is a sort of tubercle that grows on the eye-lids. When small, it is seated on the edge of the eye-lid; but when large, it spreads further. When they do not suppurate, they become wens. They are apt to disappear and return. If there is inflammation, endeavour to suppurate it with the white-bread poultice; if it is hard, destroy it with a mixture of equal parts of hog's lard and quicksilver. If the lower eye-lid is affected, the tumour is more frequently on its inside; and then it is best to disfect it, or to make way for it outwardly by applying a cauthe on the skin just upon it.
