Pink
Conjunctivitis is the medical name for pink eye. It involves inflammation of the outer layer of the eye and inside of the eyelid. It can cause swelling, itching, burning, discharge, and redness. Causes include:
- Bacterial or viral infection
- Allergies
- Substances that cause irritation
- Contact lens products, eye drops, or eye ointments
Pink eye usually does not affect vision. Infectious pink eye can easily spread from one person to another. The infection will clear in most cases without medical care, but bacterial pink eye needs treatment with antibiotic eye drops or ointment.

WORMS (See also Tapeworm)
For ascarides the best remedies are; Pink-root (especially Fluid Extract Pink-root and Senna), santonin (gencrally combined with calomel and given in lozenges-' and oil of wormseed. For pin worms santonin is often prescribed, but is less eflicient than infusion of quassia (10 per cent) given by injection.2
