Mans Height and weight.

On the average child from 6 months to
years grows in height about 8 per cent. each
year. The weight of the body goes on in
creasing to the Sth year, rising in boys to so
pounds and in girls to Az. From the 9Th
year until puberty boys increase in height IS
per cent. each year; they gain about 5 pounds
in weight per year and girls little more, so
that in the 18th year children of both sexes
weigh, on the average, about IS pounds
From Is to 20 years youths grow some so per
cent. and girls 20. The increase of weight is
even more rapid than before, reaching AS
pounds in boys Is years old and girls of the
same age about II pounds less. In his 10th
year man attains his maximum weight, say
159 pounds, and then begins to lose flesh, but
women continue TO grow heavier, reaching
about 10 pounds less at the 10th year, but
more than men at the 5Oth. Between 45 and
90 men become corpulent and women rapidly
grow older.--SwiSs Cross

PLANTS THAT ARE POISONOUS.
Members of the Sumach Family Which
Are to Be AvOided-Remedies.

Members of the Sumach Family Which
Are to Be AvOided-ISemed1es.
There are many species of these plants be-
longing to the sumach famlly-knoWn 70 tne
botanist under the general name OF rhus-
widely scattered throughout North America.
The most important are the poison oak,
shrub from one to three feet high, its leaves
having three leaflets; poison ivy, which Is, OF
course a vine: and poison sumach, or swamp
s,lnach, also popularity called dogwood, and
scientifically known as rhus venenata, or
poisonous rhus. Each is well known v here it
is common They are all similar in their
poisonous character.
While many persons are wholly unsuscep-
tible to their poison, many others are poisoned
by handling the plants, and some even by the
emanations from them. The suffering from
these poisons is severe There is an intoler-
able itching and burning, and if another part
Of the body is brought into contact with the
affected part it becomes equally affected. The
whole body sometimes swells, and there { fe
local inflammations and pustules filed with
an acrid fluid.
The question of cure is one Of much inn
portance to the sufferer Some of the RENE
dies which have been suggested are useless;
others painful: others dangerous. The
Medical Record contains communications
on the subject from several physicians,
each giving his own experience, with
remedies employed by him.
DR.. r. G. Williams, Of Whitney, Texas,
writes that a strong decoction of the common
cup oak bark, boiled to the consistency of
tar, and applied by means of camel's hair
brush, or an ordinary brush or mop, two or
three times, is very efficacious.
DR.. j. B. Kell, of Delphos, Ohio, had him
self been poisoned six times, the last attack
rendering his features barely recognizable.
What sufferers generally want is immediate
relief of the smarting pain and intense itch
ing. While he found the common remedies
beneficial, he did notobtain the desired relief
until he applied to the inflamed parts satu-
rated solution of potassium chlorate. The effect
of this is exceedingly gratifying. The linen
with which it is applied should be changed
once an hour.
DR.. j. r. Flowers, of Columbus, Ohio, says
of a severe case "An old native Indian gath
cred quantity of boneset, and after pound
ing the tops and leaves to pulp, applied it to
The parts effected during the night The next
morning the swelling had all disappeared.
Since that time I have used the fluid extracts
of the same for all my cases, and the result
has been an immediate cure. Several of my
medical friends have tried it, and the result
has in every case been very satisfactory
