CURE FOR BLIND STAGGERs.
The Rev. B. F. Cannon Tells of Method
 He Has Found Successful.

To The Star.
 1 learn that horses are dying in and around Hatfield and Potter. 1 have a remedy that have never known to fail I here offer it to the public free, if the editor will do the same. Make couple of sacks something like the old sausage sacks, dig down and get clay, fill the sacks, have a pot of hot water, put the sacks into the water and after they get to boiling take one sack and place it between the horse s ears, let one end extend down on the forehead near the eyes and the other end back on the poll of the head; raise it up little occasionally to keep it from burning too much; after it gets cool put it back in the water and use the other sack as the first was used. This will cause the water in the head to break loose. l have used this two or three times and it has proved successful.
