Cures for Ivy Poisoning.

The American Botanist publishes a
letter from a Brookline (Mass.) cor
respondent stating that fishermen
along parts of the Massachusetts
coast find a prompt cure for the eff
fects Of poison Ivy and poison sumach
in the freweed (Erechtites hieraci-
folia). The poisoned parts are rubbed
with the leaves Of this plant, which
must be fresh each time, bruised and
crushed so that the sap moistens the
skin freely. An editorial note men,

other plants have been recommended

RETURN TO NORMAL HEARING
Correspondent of New York NeWspa,
per Tells Of Good Results of
Rubbing the Scalp.

For some years / had been under
the impression that washing the
scalp or using tonics for the hair was
bad, for the reason that 1t was
thought to have a tendency to in.
crease deafness, and when l read
your correspondents letter on the
treatment Of deafness by means Of
manipulation of the scalp and the use
Of tonics In connection Herewith ]
was at first rather doubtful about the
efficiency of the treatment. But l final
ly tried the plan, and am glad to say
that it brought surprising results,
writes q correspondent of the New
York Sun.
But what l cannot understand is
why a wet scalp and rubbing should
restore normal hearing. cannot &C.
cont for 1t. After trying the scheme
! discontinued the rubbing and use
of the tonic, with the result that the
hardness of hearing returned; and
with the resumption of the treatment
l was again relieved. For many years
| could not hear ordinary conversation
with my left ear, but with the use OF
the above treatment the hearing IL
that ear became normal
1t would be highly interesting to
learn what explanation ear special
lists have to give for this phenomenon
and whether it can be utilized in the
treatment of all cases of deafness, OF
whether 1t is only good for some spe.
cial or particular cases. The habitual
use of coffee does not appear to be
harmful in my own case.

answered, and with that my visitor
departed.
There was a good deal to think
over. Briefly, Dacre, while hunting in
a wild part Of the Lake Superior
country, had sustained bad fall from
cliff-side He had lain helpless and
isolated half of the day and all of
one night, unable to climb up the
steep incline. He had been discov-
cred by a girl whose whole appear
ance suggested some wild mountain
maid
Her name was Elsa Warren and she
lived with her stepfather, Reuben
Thorpe, hunter he proclaimed him
self. but not averse to assisting Dor
der smugglers at times. He was a
surly, unsociable old fellow, but with
one great redeeming feature in his
warped nature-he idolized Elsa as
he had loved her dead mother. She
seemed to feel it duty to remain
with the lonely, bereaved old man. In
her presence all his rudeness seemed
to disappear. Poor, obscure as they
were. the girl had grown up commun
| ing only with nature, ardently fond
of books. These had refined her ma
ture, and these her stepfather always
provided, no matter how poorly his
desultory vocation paid him.
For a month Dacre was laid up al
the humble cottage home of Elsa
near little town named Clyde The
| purity and freshness of his faithful
nurse had enraptured him. He made
an honest, earnest declaration of love

stepfather coming in, few into a pas
sion. He drove Dacre forclbly from
the place. The next morning Dacre
found the little hut deserted. Elsa
and Thorpe had disappeared.
For month he sought them with
