George Leo Haydock, on Tob 6:9

“And the gall is good for anointing the eyes, in which there is a white speck, and they shall be cured.”

“Gall. This is generally allowed by physicians to be most excellent, particularly that of the callyonymus, and of the hyena, (Vales, Phil. 42.; Galen 10.; Menochius) and silurus, &c., so that one objection of the adversaries of this book falls to the ground. (Houbigant)”
