Around the turn of the century doctors prescribed silver nitrate
for stomach ulcers and it has been common practice to put a few drops of a silver solution in the eyes
of a newborn baby to kill bacteria that might cause blindness (http://www.rawhealth.net/silver.htm)
This practice of dropping silver nitrate in newborn's eyes was abandoned
because the silver nitrate solution is caustic (http://bbs.msnbc.com/bbs/msnbc-health/posts/cf/60296.asp). Antibiotics are much better.
