Petroz is the authority for this drug, which produces a number of symptoms in the eyes, and cases of chemosis and pterygium have been reported cured with it. R. K. Ghosh (H.
R., viii. 459) cured a number of cases of both. He found a lotion of Guarea Ø (gtt i. to one drachm) of great assistance.

The eye symptoms alternate with diminished hearing.
