President McKitterick then took his diethylene glycol to Columbia University pharmacologists, had them experiment. They put a solution of smoke from cigarets containing the new hygroscopic agent under the eyelid of a rabbit. To President McKitterick's delight, it produced less swelling than a solution from cigarets using glycerin and, curiously, less than a solution from cigarets using no hygroscopic agent at all. How much this test really proved is still a matter of debate. A solution of smoke is not smoke, a rabbit's eye is not a human throat and almost nothing is known about...
...FLUTTER OF AN EYELID-Myron Brinig-Farrar & Rinehart...
...Tiffany Thayer were a great deal better writer, this is the kind of book he might write. Phantasmagoria laid in a wilder California than mortal eye has seen.

When an eyelid is damaged by injury or disease it can be mended satisfactorily by grafting a bit of skin from another lid, from the inner surface of the arm, or from behind the ear. Skin from those places approximates the thickness of an eyelid. Lids thus mended may blink,' wink, close. If his patients insist, Professor Vilray Papin Blair, St. Louis lid-mender, transplants a strip from the eyebrow. Eyelashes from eyebrows usually look straggly. Professor Blair also makes eyebrows with grafts from the scalp. These tailor-made eyebrows require frequent barbering...
