Remedy for Poison Ivy.
Il If, in your vacation travels about tn,
country you happen on a green VIM
climbing luxuriantly over stone walls
fences and hanging over the rocks edg,
into the lake or river where you ar,
canoeing; If it is late in the season anc
the glossy green leaves have turned Il
reds and browns and yellows; if eacf
leaf is divided into three leaflets, anG
the temptation comes to you to pull some
of them to take home-don't do it. It's
poison ivy.
| There is little necessity introducing
this plant. If you are susceptible to its
poison, you probably know all about it.
1t is one of the commonest poison plants
in the country and thousands find it out
each year.
Some persons are so susceptible, says
the Philadelphia North American, that
they are poisoned merely by walking
near it. One reason why its victims are
so numerous is that many persons don't
distinguish between the poisonous vine
and the Virginia ereeper. The leaves of
the ereeper are divided into flve leaflets;
the leaves of the poison ivy into three.
In june the poison ivy blossoms in
greenish white flowers, growing in loose
clusters where lae leaves Join the vine.
Its fruit is a small dun-colored berry.
The poison soon makes itself known.
The victims skin will become inflamed,
swell and break into blisters. He
scratches, and the poison spreads. Among
other remedies is one which nature her
self provides-witeh hazel extract, and
it is curious fact that nearly every.
where you find poison ivy vine you'll
find plant of witch hazel.
