MUSHROOM POISONING.

Mushrooms dispensed in hotels and
restaurants are mostly the cultivated
kind and hence safe. But when people
go out and gather wild mushrooms, or
buy those gathered by youngsters, then
there is a good chance for serious trou-
BILE.
AS a nutrient the mushroom Is
practically valueless mostly water,
and what little heterogeneous material it
contains is probably not utilized by the
body. AS delicacy it is priced by
people who live that they may eat
There are more than two thousand
varieties of mushrooms described,
most Of them harmless.
Amy mushroom having a cup or a
suggestion of a cup at its base should
be avoided unless suicide is the inten-
ton.
Any mushroom having an unpleas-
ant odor, peppery, bitter or unpala-
table flavor is probably poisonous
One of the most poisonous varieties
has bright orange or red cap, covered
with soft whitish warts, white or yell
lowish gills and a white stem which is
Dubious at the base and carries a white
ring at its upper narrow end.
The edible mushroom has a silky
foccose or fine, scaly cap, somewhat
reddish tinted flesh, and pinkish gills
changing TO dark brown.
Since mushrooms rapidly decompose
when picked, ii Is wise TO avoid even
the edible kind at any distance from
the place where they grow, since Sc
we're Irritation OF the gastrointestinal
system may be produced by them.
Symptoms Of mushroom poisoning
are nausea and vomiting, occurring
soon after eating the delicacy, and
then after several hours symptoms of
general pofsoning-rapid pulse, rapid
breathing. dizziness. muscular twitch-

An emetic, such as two or three
grains of copper sulphate in a table
spoonful of water, may be given if the
condition is recognized soon after the
mushrooms are eaten, followed by
large drinks of slippery elm tea or
faxseed tea or starch water. If an
hour or two has elapsed. an active

Does antitoxin cause fever? Can diph-

many cases of diphtheria undoubtedly
recover without antitoxin, but If one is
poisoned and has the antidote at hand
