MOON BLINDNESS. 



This is a disease of the eyes, and it is also known as Periodical Opthalmia. It 

 gets both of the names from the fact that it affects a horse at regular periods and 

 was formerly supposed to be controlled by the moon. It may affect one or both 

 eyes at any time. 



Treatment. 



Remove wolf teeth, if any, by pulling them, instead of breaking them off. There 

 is no treatment that will cure this disease, but improvement has been effected by 

 giving the animal a Physic Ball and following with Horse Tonic. 



Bathe the eyes with a solution of Antisepto three times daily and then inject 

 the Eye Lotion as directed, until all inflammation is gone. Keep animal in dark 

 stable during the stage of intense inflammation.

 all sore or inflamed parts. Change bits if necessary.
