, tat!ve remedy made Of one part OF the
tincture Of the plant. Ave parts rectitied
spirits and "a parts syrup OF orange.
This Is taken diluted in one-half glass
of water in increasing doses, beginning
with one drop after breakfast, and in
creasing one drop after each mea! until
q drops are taken. This takes one
week in this manner. Then one tea
spoonful q day Is taken all during the
Ivy season.
This medica ton causes the system
gradually to manufacture a defense
against poison. 1t Is process Of de-
sensitiZation. Don't try to desensitize
yourself by chewing tho leaves! There
Is one case in medical literature OF q
person dying from that little procedure
One physician In experimenting on
himself to find out what would neu-
tralize the poison, ground up the leaves
extracted the poison and mixed some Of
that with different chemicals. He found
that when he mixed II with iodine and
then rubbed that combination on his
amr. II did not poison. He also found
that permanganate solution. per cent
strength, was also effective. He recon-
mends painting the affected places with
iodine, or using hot applications Of the
solution of perrnanganate.
There seem to be hundreds Of reme-
dies listed IN the literature on the
subject, things with absolutely contrary
chemical reactions. For instance. acids
such as vinegar and lemon juice and
borio acid have been effectiv In some
ca ses. and alkals such as bicarbonate
Of soda and lime water in others.
1nasmuch as the poison seems to be
an oil, most OF the authorities recon-
mend R thorough scrubbing OF the parts
with hot water and strong soap and
scrub brush TO get all the oil off. Soft
soap is also recomm ended as a remedy.
1t would be wise for one affected with
the poison to wear gloves and perhaps
to rub solution Of lime water or soap
on the exposed parts before going on
hike or picnic. I've been on many
hikes and many picn!cs and I am a
dem!-blond. but Ivy poisoning has no
affinity for me 50 I cannot give you any
personal experience in this line. One
