cARBoLIc ACID ANTIDoTE.
Tinoture Of Iodine, II 10 Claimed, Gives
Remarkable Results.

Among cases Of accidental poisoning
those caused by carbolic acid are the
most frequent. These generally arise
through mistaking a solution Of car
bolic acid for some medicine or, as
occurs very often, for some alcoholic
liquor.
The remedies generally employed In
dealing with this kind Of poisoning
consist in washing the stomach with
alkaline water or pure glycerin, fol-
lowed by the ingestion Of alkaline sui
pilates, oil and white Of eggs beaten
up. Some years ago, however, DIR.
Maberly showed that tincture Of 10
dine, administered in fairly large
doses, may give much better results.
On one occasion when called In to
attend a young negro who, thinking he
was drinking whisky, had swallowed
a quantity Of strong solution Of car
bolic acid and who consequently was
severely burned about the lips and
throat, Dr. Maberly hurriedly made
him swallow a teaspoonful Of tincture
of iodine in a cupful Of water. A few
minutes afterward the patient was
able to swallow some milk without
any difficulty, speaking became easier.
and he very soon completely recover
ed from the poison.
The same immediate and complete
effect was obtained on administering
tincture Of iodine in doses OF five
drops in water in the case Of S-year-
old boy who had just swallowed some
carbolic acid.
Similar success was met with In q
third case Of carbolic acid poisoning,
the victim being a child years of age.
In this instance the iodine treatment
could not be begun till thirty hours af-
ter the ingestion Of the poison. The
alarming symptoms soon disappeared
under the influence Of tincture Of 10
dine given every four hours in doses
Of five drops in a teaspoonful Of wa
ter. The little patient was cured.
The tincture of iodine neutralizes
the carbolic or picnic acid by forming
with it an iodophenate, insoluble and
therefore harmless-European edition

TREE cIsTERNs OF SUDAN.
The Natives Method of Obtaining
Water in the Dry Season.

The Natives Method of Obtaining
Water in the Dry Season.
In view of the many suggestions
made for the bringing down Of rain II
is interesting to note that in the &C.
zira district to the south Of Kartum
whenever a drought is threatening all
the children are sent into the fields
and are made to clap their hands and
shout vigorously, writes a Cairo cor
respondent of the Pail Mall Gazette.
The idea is that rain will be brought
down, and the little boys and girls are
kept out in the open at this game un-
til the wished for result has been OBJ
tanned. This year there have been
transforms in superabundance in the
district, so the childrens intercessior
has not been required, or perhaps the
abnormal rainfall is due to their Wig
orous action in the past.
The latest Soudan Times gives a
most interesting account of one Of the
means by which the inhabitants OF
Kordofan provide themselves with g
copious water supply in that arid
springless region. 1t Is nothing more
or less than the adansonia digitata
called by the natives nomr, but COM
monty known as tebeldi. These tebeld
trees are from ten to twenty-five fee,
in diameter and grow to considera-
BILE height, with trunks about twenty
to thirty feet, and fine branches, CIV
ing vast amount Of shade.
Strange to say, the trunks are nat

terms for the storage Of water. Should
the cavities not be large enough the
natives scoop them out further. Ar
opening Is made either in the side OF
the trunk, near the top, or right a,
the top where the branches start. In
the former case the tree Is filled with
buckets from pools, which are dug al
the foot of the tree to collect the rain
water during the rainy season. In the
latter case the tree is filled by nature
when the rain falls, the branches act
ing as sort of cutters.
At times the trees crack, but this
occurs very rarely, and the trunks are
no longer of any use s reservoirs
However, lately the resourceful ma
tive has adopted cement as a means
of stopping up the cracks and large
number of tebeldis have been repaired
in this manner Curiously enough
the presence of such a large quantity
Of water in the trunk in nowise i'm.
pedes it's growth, and 1t is certainly
one of the most ingenious devices OF
nature for circumventing a natura
difficulty.
Every cultivator has his tebeldi tree
which is indispensable to his work
These trees are looked upon as per.
sonal property, and on the death OF
landowner his tebeldis pass as heir.
