A Cure For Ivy Poisoning.

Many methods of treatment have
been employed for ivy poisoning. One
very simple method is to rub the skin
we'll with bit of rag saturated with
sulphurlc ether. This should be done
in the early stages of poisoning. A
single application is usually enough.
The action Of the ether is to take the
volatile oil into solution and spread 1t
over such large surface that it be-
comes rapidly oxidized and harmless.
If the poisoning has lasted for several
days secondary Inflammation of the
skin may have developed, which would
require more elaborate medical treat

There is a value in perfumes as a

fragrance that never oifends, as do
gross common scents. The dainty
woman selects a special perfume and
uses this only In all her toilet articles.

shoulder will be a trifle higher than
the other and the hip on the opposite
side trife lower than its mate, re-
