A CURIOUS EPIDEMIC
The Napier Telegraph of a recent date says :—An epidemic has made its appearance in the town and'suburban districts lately that shows .itself in. one or both eyes of the male sex. The eye becomes extremely inflamed,with adark and bruised appearance that must be almost as painful as it is disagreeable to look at. Some attribute it to hay fever, others to sand blight, but there are others who say that it is the result of the establishment of boxing clubs. Be this as it may, black eyes are as plentiful as blackberries in. summer.” ■
