There is a large number of poison
Gus plants in the United States which,
on account of their limited area OF
growth, and sometimes of the uncer-
tainty of our knowledge concerning
their evil effects, are comparatively
little known. All poisonous plants are
not equally injurious to all persons.
nor to all forms Of life. The United
States Department of Agriculture has
gathered information concerning those
that are well known and widely spread
in growth. The well known poke root
has various local names. to-wit; Poke;
poke root; garget; pigeon berry; CO.
cum; jalap; shoke; American night
shade; crowberry; cancer root; chon-
gras (La.); redweed; red-ink plant;
pecan bush.
Description and Where Found.-A
smooth. rank, ~succulent, perennial,
six Il nine feet high, with a thick
half-woody root, purplish. stems, large
alternate leaves, and numerous elon-
gated clusters of small gr~eenish-white
flowers, which blossom through the
summer, and are followed in autumn
by shining purple-black berries. The
plant is native to the United States,
and grows in rich. moist soils. espe-

mechanical manipulation seems neces-
sary to prevent i'll effects when It is
eaten. The root and the alcoholic ex-
tract of the fruit are quite commonly
used as a household remedy for the
itch and other skin diseases. and for
rheumatism. The fresh shoots are
rather widely esteemed as a substitute
for asparagus, but in the preparation
considerable care is exercised to re-
ject the root. for small quantities i'm
part a bitter taste to the mess. and
larger amounts will prove dangerous.
The water in which the shoots are
first boiled is also rejected on &C
count of the poisonous substance con-
tanned in it. The flesh of the berries
is eaten with impunity by some birds.
but its use by human beings cannot
be recommended.
Poisonous Characterization In
stances of poisoning arise from over
doses when the plant has been used as
a medicine. but there are also acct
dental cases due to the eating OF the
root, which has been variously mis-
taken for that of the parsnip, arti-
choke. and horeradish.
Poke weed is a violent but slow act
ing emetic. vomiting beginning only
after about two hours. 1t also affects
the nerves and muscles. producing
retching, spasms, sever purging. and
sometimes commissions. Death is ap
parently due to the paralysis of the
respiratory organs.

paid there also the greatest amount OF
work is demanded. Where the hours Of
labor are from 1850 in the morning until
8 $50 at night a city chap can stand the
strain for only one or two days at the

hours are long and the board is not always
so extra. For there the farmer does not

Defects of clothing, though most signal about
the chest and shoulders, are not confined to the
upper part of the body. The feet require warmth,
which fashion denies. They cannot be compressed
except at the cost of suffering, some distortion and
the infection of positive disease. Fashion also per-
mits the legs to be covered with only the thinnest
materials. The circulation of blood to the feet be-
comes further impeded by the pressure of tight shoes
and the facilitating effects of cold. The crippled
state, too, thus occasioned is an obstacle to efficient
exercise, and so adds to the general debility.
