Ammoniacum Gummi.
Ammoniacum gummi is a gum obtained from a very large tree growing in Arabia. It has gained quite a reputation as a cure for diseases of the eye. I have used it successfully in asthenopia, when the eyes smart and burn, especially if used at night by artificial light. The eyes become injected, and often throb, especially in the inner canthus of each eye. It thus stands between Belladonna, which is used for affections of the eyes from overwork when there is great congestion, and Ruta, which is indicated for irritability of every tissue of the eye from overwork or from using the eyes on fine work.
