Sickness" as its deadly temperance
in certain sections of the State has
been followed by fatal results to hui
man beings and to stock. No one has
ever discovered the cause Of the NAL
ady from which death relieves the vic
tim, after such physical agony as al
most deprives the human species Of the
power of speech and dumb brutes ex-
press their sufferings by frenzied
search for water to cool the thirst
which consumes them. Once by a
stream, they plunge or fall into it, and
quickly drink themselves to death.
The fatal sickness is known to a linn
tied extent in several sections of the
State, but exists principally near Spar
ia, in White county. 1t is contracted
through drinking the milk of cows
that have eaten a certain weed, known
as the "milk-sick weed" which looks
somewhat like clover, and grows thick
~ on the infected land. But what
constitutes the poison in the weed is
no more determined to-day than it Was
when first located by the keen-witted,
nature-wise mountaineers, who have
been its chief victims. 1t has been az
cribed at various times to minerals
whose poison Is absorbed in the root.
of the "milksick" plant; to a vapor
from some fungus growth, and to the
action of the dew, producing, in con.
nectlon with the life of the plant. a
certain poisonous acid. But all of these
theories have failed under tests ap-
piled by practical science. On the larg
est infected section known to exist in
the limits of the State, "Milksicb
Mountain" in White county, no min
eral whatsoever exists; cattle which
ate the "milk-sick weed" after the dew
had dried died in agony, just as those
which ate it when the dew was fresh
and sparkling, and the strictest search
failed to find any fungous growth
whatever.-Louisville Courier-J Journal

with soda and water at once after
