REMEDIES FOR IVY
AND SUMAC POISONING


While no specific cure for poison
ing by poison ivy and poison sumac
is yet available. in spite of the claims
of scores of remedies, there is much
that one can do in applying home
remedies, according to representa-
tives of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture and the Public
Health Service of the United States
Treasury Department, who recently
made joint investigation of this
subject. The investigators call atten-
ton to the various names used to
designate these noxious plants and to
the wide range of their growth.
Poison ivy is sometimes called poison
oak, and poison sumac is known in
various localities as poison dogwood,
poison elder, poison ash, thunder
wood. and poisonwood.
