SWEET OH FOR Po1soNs.-A plain
farmer says: alt is now over twenty
years since I learned that sweet oil
would cure the bite of a rattIespake'
not knowing it would cure eny other
kind of of poison, both or man or beast
I think no farmer should be without a
bottle Of it in the house. The patient
must take a spoonful of it internally
and battle the wound for a cure. 10
cure a horse, it requires eight times as
much as it does for a man.. Here let
me say, of one of the most extreme
cases OF snake bite in this neishbor-
hood-efeven years ago this summer
where the case had been thirty days
standing, and the patient was given up
by physicians. I heard of it and car
ried the oil, and gave one spoonful,
which effected a cnre. 1t is an antidote
for arsenic and %strychnine. 1t will u r
bloat in cattle by eating too freely OF
fresh clover; il will cure bitss OF bees,
spiders, or other insects, and will cure
persons who have been poisoned by a
low running vine in the meadows called
ivy.-[Ohio Farmer.
