During the summer season rhus toxi-
codendron poison IVY begins to thrive,
and there are many persons who will
take an interest in the statement that an
immunity against this plant can be Sc
cured. At least il has been done in one
instance, related by DIR. John Aulde in
the New York Medical Journal lie says
that Dr. George Kirkpatrick, of La
Harpe. H., took by mistake a good swal-
low Of the tincture, and in order to coun-
teract the effect of the poison large doses
of olive oil were administered, and along
with it about 10 grains of carbonate of
sodium. No immediate unpleasant eff
fleets were observed until the second day
thereafter, when il was found that there
was complete desquamation of the cuti-
Gle, and since that time he is proof
against the poison Of the plant

were at the post. Instantly there was
a rush to put their money on. Con-
~spicuous in that rush was a portly
man, evidently a saloon keeper, When
he started in the rush he was the pro-
prietor of an elegant $3.50 gold watch.
When he had been through the crush
and had bought a ticket his watch
chain was dangling minus q watch.
The attention of a bystander was
attracted to the empty chain, and he
informed the portly looking gentle

expression on his face mounted a par
rel and said:-'.Gentlemen, beware!
A gentleman has just been faxed out

we will fix him. So, as ! said before,
