Says Jewel Weed Cures Poison Ivy.

George A. Bunting, Secretary of the
State Board of Pharmacy, says:
Some years ago Government bureau
published list of probably 100 popular
remedies in use throughout the United
States for poson-ivy infection. On calling
attention of one of my physician friends
to this he replied: Eyes. have tried all
Of them, from sour milk to let-it-alone,'
and find them good"
My own observation as pharmacist had
been that not one on the list could be
relied upon to cure all cases. Fluid extract
of grindelia would be positive with one
patient and decidedly negative on others.
A solution of permanganate of potash
would act like a charm on one and abso-
lutely neutral on others. Likewise solution
lead acetate, and so on down the list.
About three years ago my attention was
called to the juice of the jewel weed in the
following manner by an old man who had
spent most of his life outdoors;

Touch-Me-Not and Silver Weed. The plant
is tall and branching, but tender and deli

stems and swollen joints. 1t grows pro-
fusely along streams and in other damp
localities.
The leaves are thin, ovate-oval and more
or less toothed. The flowers are slipper
shaped, with long recurved tails. orange
yellow and spotted. The oblone capsules.
