"A curious fact about water is that II

iron it forms reddish rust, and the
metal becomes in time disintegrated

the sun and all the planets in enormous
| quantities. Indeed, it is said that the
human body is composed of five and q
half pals of water, mingled with some
lime, iron and certain salts. Chemistry
has revealed to us many mavels, but
none greater than the composition Of
common water.

itself by serious disorder, headache,
syncopc, and even by asphyxia if their
action is too long prolonged. In
nervous persons numbness may occur
in all the members, convulsions, and
loss of voice, but in general only q
state of sOmnolence, accompanied by
feeblenoss and retardation Of the
action on the heart. This state is
often associated with well-marked
dimness of vision. Amongst the flow
ers that are most deleterious may be
mentioned the lily, hyacinth, narcissus,
crocus, rose. carnati@n, honeysuckle,
jessamine, violet, elder, etc. In addi.
ton 10 the danger caused by their
smell should be mentioned their action
on the air. During the night, flowers
actively produce carbonic acid, which
is injurious to health. Magendie
even cites case of death caused Jy Il
large bOquet of lilies which the sufferer,
previously healthy woman, had slept
with in her bedroom. Amongst the
more dangerous plants may be men
toned the walnut, the bay-tree, and
hemp. The action OF these is well
known, the latter indeed producing q
kind of drunkenness.

made use of them in the time of Moses.
They were highly esteemed by the
Greeks in the time OF the wise but

TO excess by the Romans; and finally,
in our times, they appear to have
arrived at their utmost perfection and
delicacy. 1t has been reserved also
for the present day to nse them in the
greatest profusion. But if the per-
