THE DEATH CUP.


Perhaps the most deadly of the poi
Is the fairly well known death cup
Amanita phalloidesl. particularly dan
gerous from its resemblance TO several
OF the edible mushrooms, though gath
cring fungi for the table should be
undertaken 10y none save those thor
oughly acquainted with the different
species, as IT is altogether too easy for
the ignorant enthusiast TO mike an err
ror which may prove fatal to his
friends
The death cup referred To has n
round cap, white, yellowish or green
ish IN color. and the stem has swollen
base surrounded by an envelope. or
veil, of white flmy substance, which
parts as the stalk extends upward
This stalk is pithy when young, but
hollow III maturity, and the allls OF the
cap Which in the meadow mushrooms
are pink ar brown, are white in the
deadly variety, aS are also the spores.
which can be plainly seen If the cap
is laid gills downward, on Il piece at
colorcd paper for Il few hours. The
swollen. or dubious. base is II distiu-
gushing characteristic, and no fungus
of that appearance should be gathered
for cooking. one of the liabilities Is
that these caps may be broken or
without due observance Of its hase
which Is often covered with earth or
dead grasses, hence not distinguished
from some Of the lepiotas. which. how
ever, are never surrounded with the
illmy veil of the death cup.
The poisonous property of this fungus
is largely the same as that found in the
venom of Il rattlesnake and also in
cholera and diphtheria. and so far sci,
ence is unable 10 produce any satislac-
tory antidote, atropine, the stomach
pump and oil purgatives being about
! the only resources.--W Washington Post.

The best disinfectant of all IS sunlight.
It destroys by its very brightness all sorts
of germs and at the same time helps the
growth of plants and animal life. Doubt
less all have noticed that mould grows
during the night and in dark, damp cellars.
Bright sunlight quickly destroys germs,
mould or other organisms. That is why II
is best to let the sunlight into your houses
for its purifying influence.
At the Inva4ids' Hotel and Surgical Insti-
tute, Buffalo N. ", DR.. Pierce, chief con-
sulting surgeon, started experiments some
three years ago, with the Finsen light II,
conjunction with the X-ray in the treat
mept of diseases. He got excellent results
therefrom, and was among the first to adapt
this remarkable cure to many cases which
it was formerly supposed must of necessity
be treated by the knife.
Not only is DR.. R. v. Pierce notable for
his surgical achievements at his hospital in
Buffalo, but nearly a third of century ago
he discovered certain roots and herbs
which were natures remedies, and sue
ceeded in putting them up in form that
would be easily procured and ready to use.
This he called DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery. It maintains the patients nu-
triton by enabling him to eat retain, digest
and assimilate nutritious food. 1t over
comes gastric irritability and symptoms OF
indigestion, and in this way fever, night
sweats headaches, etc, are done away with.
It fortifes the body against the germs OF
consumption, grip and malaria, 1t builds
up the tissues and puts on healthy flesh.
Those desiring to know something about
the body in health and disease, also medi-
cine and surgery, without technicaiities,
should read the rCommon Sense Medical
Adviser" which can be had for 81 cents in
one-cent stamps for the cloth-bound book.
