The disease known as "pink-eye" has made
its appearance among the horses in New York
and is also reported as prevalent in some
towns and viilages on the line of the Erie
west of this village. The complaint appears
to be the effect of a kind of acute inflammation
of all the mucus membranes, and the inflam
mation is said by veterinary surgeons to be
caused by the sudden changes in the weather
from heat to cold. "Pink eye," it is said, is
not an epidemic. It is apt to break out sud
denly in a large, over-crowded stable, and it
will often confine itself to that one stable.
About seven-tenths of all the horses in the
B table catch the disease, and about one in
twelve of the horses affected die. The
symptoms are loss of appetite, rise of tem
perature, rheum of the nose and eyes, swell
ing of the legs, and inflammation of the in
ternal lining of the eye-lids. A cure takes
ten or twelve days. Stimulents are the chief
feature of the treatment.— Ex.
