Treatment for Pinkeye.

\ prominent Chicago veterinarian
gives the following treatment for tho
new horse disease, the pinkeye,
which is now prevailing throughout
the country. In over two hundred
cases he did not lose one. The
principal point is to break the fever,
and rs soon as the fever is broken
the animals get WELL In his treat
ment he uses aeonite, belladona and
arsenicum, and also sweatS the horse
about the head and throat to draw
out the inflammation. II they
won't eat bran he gives them oats,
and if they won't eat oats he gives
them ears of corn. They should be
encouraged to eat. and should be
watered often. He does not believe
in giving the afflicted animals warm
bran or any kind of hot food. He
says that when the horses become
weak and debilitated he administers
quinine, iron and golden-seal. The
latter is an herb known TO veterin-
arianS

It may b. true, as charged III the

candidate for assembly iii the north

paper docs mol intimate that the
reports were circulated by demo
Gratis. and the returns 81 election
showing that Ar. Bennett was -6
behind the temperance vote for gov
ernor, and the temperance voters
beng claimed ~ al republican, it il
rational t. conclude that the reports
must have been circulated by re-
puhlieans, and further, as no one
hut republicans heard Of tile reports
until after the election was over.
The democrats could have no OBJ

they did very wrong, and should be
severely consumed. and We heartily
concur with that paper, in depre-
eating such unfair dealing with
honorable men, and ascribe it more

which they eve their allegiance

THE TEMPERANCE HEALTH LIFT.

The temperance people now hav-
lng taken y political health lift, they
have indicated e the people of Wis
consin the present condition Of their
muscles.
The effect Of their effort has been
70 move back the republican former
register Of strength about $1,000
notches, and having, at the same
time braced their feet against the
democratic party. the reactionary
impulse necessarily jostled that par
III little forward.
1.-THE temperance apparatus which
has been prepared, and upon which
they have just taken their first ex-
ercise, does not prove defective in
some parts of its mechanism. and
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1881-11-18

they can hold the scale beam at the
point at which it is now registered,
until the next election, with the
practice they have already had, and
the hardening of the political muscle
that should ensue after their recent
efforts, it need not surprise the
people, if they would succeed in
the next effort in running their
register up to at least 10000 more.
But in order to do this it is imper.
alive that they hold all the vantage
they have gained. They ought now
to tie big knot on the end of their
muscles, sew them fast with wax
ends, and bind them with hickory
withes, and powder them with rosin
to prevent slipping backward; for
their is not the least doubt but the
republican party will use reckless
quantities Of soft-soap, slippery-elm
ooze, and try all the lubrieating ex-
periments known to chemical phar-
macy, in order to relax the temper
ance muscle. But if the temperance
people, prove to have the genuine
lock-jaw they may defy all the eff
forts of the opposition.
The other parties will be forced by
the temperance people to define
their positions on this question, or
they will find themselves placed
between the upper and the neither
milestone
There is no doubt but the ire
piessible conflict is upon us in Wis
consin, and must be disposed of by
the people and the sooner the people
are permitted to act upon the ques-
ton the better.

Swearing off OH Politics.
I.n1 L. sllr,

Pecks sun
The man who has once been ad-
dicted to politics finds it hard to
reform and break the letters that
bind him. He makes a resolve, in
his mind, that never again will he
touch the fatal polite, and he goes
along for months without thinking
Of indulging, but in ar unguarded
moment, after the campaign opens
he thinks Of something that can be
/ played on the opposition, and he
takes his first step, and then he goes
down, until election day he Is
peddling tickets like an old stager,
at night he is around hearing the
returns, at midnight he is whooping
il up with the boys, and Mt three a.
m. he goes up stairs at home on all
tours, his hat overwhelmed by a
good majority, his head as uncertain
and wavering as the chances Of his
party, his tongue as thick as oppo-
sition votes, and his breath as strong
as the atmosphere in q malt house.
He has lied to his wife about having
to go to the lodge to give some high
degrees to some Masons from the
country, and when she smells his
breath she knows how high the
degrees are, and it all comes over her
III second-not the breath, but the
ldea-Lhat lie has fallen from his
high estate and again fallen in the
mlre OF politics. After election, and
his party is beaten, as usual, he
swcars upon a stack of brick in his
hat, that he will touch not, taste
not, handle not, the Intoxicating and
demoralizing polite, but he lies, and
he knows IT. What the country
wants is society for reforming men
who are addicted to politics, 4 society
where he can go when he feels the
old appetite coming on, and have
his thoughts turned To different
channel He is weak, and he wants
his brothers and sisters to take him by
the hand, particularly the sisters, and
brace him up, and make him strong
against the enemy. When he feels like
taking 4 hand in campaign, where
he knows that he will surely fall, and
come cut with the smell Of kerosene
and beer ON his garments and cheese
on his breath, he wants to feel the
strong arm of the society around his
waist, and hear the members singing
songs Of Zion instead of hurrahing
for somebody for justice ofthe peace.
But if such society were formed for
the reformation Of the politicians,
just about the time it got the con-
vGrts strong enough to walk alone,
the COMPOUNDED society would nomi-
nate a ticket of its own, and go into
the campaign making more noise
than all the other political parties,
and the reformed politicians would
find that they had jumped out Of the
frying pan into the fire. Twas ever
thus from childhoed's hour.
