4 Boston Mans ingenious Device for tfe.
venting Poisoning accidents
The unlabeled poison bottle is as
bad as the unloaded gun for causing
fatalities. Carele@sness at home will
render useless the utlnostrvigilance OF
the drug clerk W o relics upon the
warning label rlaa;red by law to
be pasted on al oisonous prescrip-
tions. To obvat lis danger a man
living in the sahars Of Boston nnown
as Jamaica p ans has made a bottle
which very eIfectuaily conveys the
necessary information as to thu dead
v natEre of its contents, SO that rot
only he who runs may read bat he
who cannot read may understand.
The bottle is OF blue glass, III order
that the contents may better resist
being affected by light, and st Is
nodded into tie shape Of a skull, with
cross oones underneath. Fire word
poison is placed in raised letters
on the forehead, and at the base of
che skull a space has been left for the
ced label that tells the nature of the
drug. The hollow eyesockets, the
jawbones and the teeth would tell its
purpose to a blind man, and CHASTITY
as it may seem to those who are
blessed with sight, it is better to be
frightened than to die. That at least
is the philosophy of the inventor, and
he is not a druggist, or doctor, by the
way, but a plain, every day iobber II
