The Scranton Pa Times says that it
has the best authority for the following
singular statement " A lady of our
city having gathered a large quantity of
autumn leaves, took the more rapid
method Of pressing them with hot
fat-iron. Very soon after her hands
and wrists broke out with an eruption
of scalding humor, such a. is wit
messed in those cases of erysip,las
known as St. Anthony's FIRE, and she is
likely to be laid up for some time if no
worse results ensue. The leaves were
of the maple species, and the theory is
that volatile oil of poisonous nature
was evolved by the application Of heat
and obtained access TO the circulation
through some abrasion Of the skin. 1t
is safer, though a slower process, to
press leaves in book or between fat
boards under weight.
