Keynotes

Characteristics

Clarke

This is an unproved drug, but it has been used with a good deal of success in

cases of cataract as an external application. The method adopted is to instil one drop, four or five

times a day, into the eye affected, and to keep this up for several months. Traumatic cataract and

corneal opacities, as well as senile cataract, have been removed in this way. I have seen no

reports of cures by internal use of the remedy alone, but in some cases it was given internally as

well as used externally. Generally the patients have received specific homceopathic treatment

internally at the same time.
