Pink-Eye.

Quite a number of children about
the city have pink-eye. The malady
afIlcts the eyes in an inhammatory
manner, in many instances causing
temporary loss of sight. The dis
ease hardly ever proves fatal among
children. 1t usually appears during
the spring time and after causing a
few days inconveniece, disappears.
While on this subject it may be
stated that horses and cattle are also
subject to the same disease. But IL
often proves fatal with stock. In
localities where an epidemic breaks
out many horses and COWS usually
die from the scourge.
Many COWS were afflicted with the
disease IN this section a year or 20
ago, but no fatalities were reported.
When COWS are afflicted with the
disease the milk should not be used
as serious results are liable to oc-
cur.
