Eyelashes depend for their length and beauty upon the condition of the eyelids. Do not allow them to become inflamed. If they are weakened the lashes will be weakened, or will fall out. To make them grow long and evenly they should be clipped two or three times a year.If the eyelashes grow thin or unevenly it may be because the eyes are strained and the lids inflamed. To remedy such a condition I recommend either of the following prescriptions:
Rosewater, 1-3 glass [sic]; witch hazel, 1/2 glass. Warm and apply by opening the eye when covered by the glassful of the mixture, thus giving the eye a thorough bath.Camphor water, 1 ounce; powdered borax, 3 grains; infusion of sassafras-pith, 2 ounces. Apply with an eye-dropper, the glass tube with rubber bulb that can be obtained in any drug store. Apply as frequently as is needed to allay the inflammation.
The growth of the eyelashes can also be promoted by frequent brushing with an eyelash brush, also by carefully clipping the ends twice a year. Brush the lashes upward and the brows toward the temples, training the arch to be high and piquant.
