' PINKEYE
' Pinkeye has become an epidemic a
moDg cattle in. many parts of the coun
try, and farmers are much concerned
over the matter. Pinkeye according
to Webster is "an acute, highly cou
tageous variety of conjunctivitis."
Conjunctivitis is an inflamation of the
conjunctivita, or mucus membrane
lining on the under surface of the eye
lid. The Century Dictionary says it is "a
contagious influenza of horses. It is a
febrile 'Jsease, closely allied to Scar
let fever in man, named from the pink
color of the conjunctiva. There is a
similar inflamation in the eye of man."
Appleton's encyclopedia says Jt is
"an infective disease of horses, char
acterized by high temperature, great
prostration, redness, and swelling of
the eyelids and other mucous mem
branes of the head, and swelling of the
limbs. It is one of the oldest known
diseases, of horses."
Nothing is said in any of the books
referred to about pinkeye as affecting
cattle. In horses the eyes should be
washed w'th a solution of borac'n acid, '
and the animal given all the cold water
it wants.
