Good for Ivy Poisoning.
There is a weed quite common on oul

branches from a woody stem with yellow

a thick gummy substance on the stems

following reply:
Agricultural College, Aug. q, 1899.
Dear Sir: The weed you enclosed is
one which is native to this state, and
so abundant upon the prairie every
where that there would be no need of
cultivating it. 1t is known as Grindelis
Squarrose or gum plant. 1t is used
for the prevention of poison ivy. One
can purchase the product of all druggists
the substance being known as Grinde-
line. 1t is used as an internal medicine
for bronchitis, lung trouble, throat dis
eases, ETC., but should never b. used
except upon recommendation of a phy-
sician, as it is quite poisonous product.
