Note by Cyril Fox on a traditional cure for a sty, dated 1937.
Sir Cyril Fred Fox (16 December 1882 – 15 January 1967) was an English archaeologist and museum director. Fox became keeper of archaeology at the National Museum of Wales, and subsequently served as director from 1926 to 1948. His most notable achievements were collaborative. With his second wife, Aileen Fox, he surveyed and excavated several prehistoric monuments in Wales and with Dr. Iorwerth Peate, he established the St Fagans National Museum of History. He also collaborated with Lord Raglan, and authored a definitive history of vernacular architecture, Monmouthshire Houses.
