tanned in 1t. The flesh Of the berrieH
is eaten with impunity by some birds.
but its use by human beings cannot
be recommended.
Poisonous Character.-Most in
stances Of poisoning arise from over
doses when the plant has been used as
medicine, but there are also acci-
dental cases due to the eating of the
root, which has been variously mis-
taken for that Of the parsnip. aru-
choke, and horeradish. A few fatal
cases of poisoning Of children have
been attributed to the fruit, but
whether death was really due to the
seed or the pulp is uncertain. The
evidence is chiefly against the seed.
for 1t Is known to contain a poisonous
substance.
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, severe purging, and
sometimes commissions. Death Is ap-
parently due to the paralysis of the
respiratory organs.

There Is large number Of poison
Gus plants in the United States which.
on account Of their limited area Of
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 we'll 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 Ua); redweed; red-ink plant;
pecan bush.
Description and Whore Found.-A
smooth. rank, succulent, perennial,
six to nine feet high, with thick
half-woody root, purplish stems, large
alternate leaves, and numerous elon-
gated clusters of small greenish-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-
cially as a weed In cultivated and
waste grounds. from Maine and North
ern Illinois to Florida, and westward
to Texas, Eastern Kansas, and South
ern Minnesota.
Uses.-The poke weed has many
household uses, but some chemical or
mechanical manipulation seems neces-
sary to prevent i'll effects when 1t 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 substitute
for asparagus, but in the preparation
considerable care is exercised to re-
ject the root. for small quantities i'm
part bitter taste to the mess, and
larger amounts will prove dangerous.
The water in which the shoots are
first boiled is also rejected on ac-
