The procession formed shortly after

grounds. The procession would have
reached three times this distance.
The Webb camp Of Durham made a
fine appearance with over a hundred
members. The number OF men in line
can scarcely be estimated, as the line
of march was not even: some of the
companies marched to the scene and
returned for others left behind. The
number of visitors TO the city was esti-
mated at 5000.
The ceremony was opened by prayer

then another attack, and so on. until the
eye is destroyed. The disease then at
tacks the other eye and runs n similar
course. The disease may not be cured
but the effects of it may be alleviated
and final blindness indefinitely postponed
by proper treatment. When an attack
comes on keep the animal In n moderate
ly dark place and battle the eyes with
cold water for ten or fifteen minutes
followed by applying to the eyeball
lotion of ten grains acetate of lead. ten
drops of laudanum, half an ounce of
water. Do this three times a day. Also
give one dram iodide of potassium twice
a day for four days in bran mash.
This treatment will not prevent recur-
renee of the attack, but will greatly di-
minsh the evil effects of the inflammation
and cause the eyesight TO continue
longer. 1t is very probable that the horse
was sold because Of the fact of moon
blindness.
