BILE of the ink with a teaspoon. Then

Some careful experiments have
been made by eminent pathologists on
poison by the sumac, the result indi-
eating an almost perfect identity in the
result with the disease known as cry
sipelas, and it is sug gested, therefore,

Rhus poison as for the trouble in cry
sipelas. A lather of common potash
soap, made strong, and applied with n
shaving brush on the affected parts, is
well-llnown and effectual remedy.
Those liable to be poisoned by this
plant will do well to remember this
