POISON IVY AND ANTIDOTE.

Iois"n ivy belongs to the sumac FAM
lily and derives its botanical name from
the ancient Celtic 'rhutld," red, and the.
Greek "toXicUdendrcn, or poison plant.
says the Montreal Witness. The orjrjn
OF the poison, which causes great suffer-
ing I" many people, was for Il long while
mystery, as the plant itself contains no
actl'e poison, as Go many plants, but it

nourlshcS deadly bacilli, which enter the
pores Of the skin and give the poisoned
parts their characteristic appearance
Inc three leaves are pale green and the
creeping plant is to be found in many
parts, of the island Of Montreal. 1t is
closely related to the Rhus Vencnata,
or poison sumac,' sometimes also,
called "poison dogwood.' Poison sumac.
however, is shrub, with the ,1rupp
sreenish-yellow and only grows in
swamps. Its flowers are green and it is
very POISONOUS. The ordinary sulnac,
with rcd fruit and crimson hai RS, is not
dangerous.
1t is said that some people cannot 60
INTO the leighbcrhood Of poison ivy
without suffering from the poison Of the
plant, while others can handle it with
out any i'll effects. Many antidotes to
the poison have been recommended, as it
ahects u!Hercnt people differently, and
among the most etticacious have been
strong soapsuds and bicarbonate Of soda.
One peculiarly painful result of rhus tox-
lcodendlon poisoning IS that with many
people the parts poisoned are liable to be
affected for several years afterwart, at
about the same period the disease was
originally caught. This plant grows erect
as we'll as decumbent and in the former
case IS known as poison oak.
III addition to the aids Of ths. druggist,
however. nature is said to have provided
most efficient remedy for rhus toxico-
dendIon poisoning, in the shape Of the
Wldey-spread flower known as "spottpd
touch-me-not.' or "Impaticns fulva." It
is also called the 'jcwel wced,' ana is
very abundant in the water courses dur
ing June and July, when the rhus toxi-
codcndron and the rhus venenata are
most poisonous. The color Of the flower
of "spctted toucn-me-not' is a deep or
an@c and the spots are Of a reddish
brown. The lip forms sac, not very
much unlike the moccasin flower, and
it ends in a curved spur. The seed pods
burst if slightly touched and scatter the
seeds all around. TO this peculiar prop
crty the plant owes it's common name.

were very good, but for the most part
the support was weak. or. perhaps it
might be better stated, to say that the

this true in the death scene. in the last
