POISON FOUND IN POTATOES.

Illness and Sometimes Brings
- On Death. NJ

Potatoes contain poisonous aka
loid known as solanine. Little of this
poison is found in the new potatoes,
but even fresh potatoes which have
grown above the surface of the soil
and have a green skin are generally
known to be poisonous. says scien-
tific authority. When potatoes are
kept a long time they contain large
amount of this poison, and many cases
of serious poisoning have occurred in
late summer from eating old potatoes.
About ten years ago many soldiers in
the German army were i'll from an un-
known cause. They suffered with head
ache, collie, diarrhea, vomiting, weak
ness, and slight stupor, and in some
cases dilatation of the pupils. The
matter was Investigated and it was dis
covered that the men had been ca ting
potatoes which had been kept for a
long time in damp place until they
had begun to sprout. Chemical ex-
animation revealed the fact that these
potatoes contained "a times as much
solanine as is found in new ttltatoes.
