New Treatment For Poison Ivy

urine, diarrhea, collie, and myosis. In cases having blisterS of sufficient size, they suggest that the physician should open the bliSters or clip of the tops and the alcohol be applied and allowed to evaporate before the tannic acid solution Is applied. In two of the cases treated, the lesions on one side of the body were treat ed with another tanning agent, 10 per cent aluminium sulfate, but 1t was less efficacious than the tan- mic acid solution.
 Poison ivy, poison sumac, poison oak all cause severe inflammation of the skin in persons who are sensitive to it. This poisoning, is usually caused by touching or brushing against the plants, or by handling clothing, shoes, or other articles which have been in contact with the plants. Dogs and cats, after roam ing through patches of poison ivy, may carry the poison on their fur, and susceptible persons may be poi- soned by betting such animals. Smoke from the burning plants will carry the poison and may cause severe cases of poisoning.
 The symptoms of ivy poisoning are produced when the irritant poison penetrates the outer surface of the skin, and may appear from few hours to five days or even longer after exposure. An itching or burn ing sensation is first noticed, which becomes more intense as inflamma- tion develops. There may be only reckoning, accompanied by swelling, but mere often small vesicles ap- pear, which may show a tendency to run together and form blisters. The inflammation may continue to de- velop for several days, while the poi son is being slowly absorbed. Plus may form in the vesicles, followed by the formation of crust or scab as the eruption dries. After the in- hammation subsidies, the outer layers of the skin peel of, leaving a new skin beneath. In complicated cases, where infection is particularly severe, more serious symptoms may be present, such as abscesses, en- largement of gland, pain, fever, and other constitutional symptoms.
 All cases should be treated by a physician.

How many Roman Catholics in Waterbury know that once upon a time the Center School district of Waterbury maintained a Cath olic school in the heart of the city, on East Main street directly across from the original site of the church of the Immaculate Con- ception?
 Yes sir, that was the status of the situation back in the seven- ties, and continuing along for a number of years. Just when it started and when 1t ended, we are unable to say. But in view of the often time statement that the state should do something in the way of support to the various pa- rochial schools of the city, 1t is interesting to note the custom of by-gone years.
 The East Main street school was in charge of Francis J. Kane, as principal. His teachers of 1880 were Miss Kate F., Slater, Miss Annie F. Slater, Miss Mary Ann Donahue, and Miss Katie A. Hart. Miss Hart later was one of the first teachers in the Welton street public school when it was opened for the first time during the mid- dle eighties. She, 1t was, who taught many of us Out East here in our first days of school.
 The public schools of 1880 were the Waterbury high school locat- ed on School street and the Elm street building on which the pres

ent Leavenworth high school stands. We also had the Brook lyn school, the Clay street school, the Dublin street school. The Ab- rigador school, the Bishop street school, the East Gaylord school at the corner of Orchard street, the Sperry street school and the West Side Hill school. Waterbury then had three high school teachers, six grammar room teachers, 13 in- termediate 21 primary room teachers, and three teachers in mixed or ungraded rooms; in otl1- CT words the Center school district then had less than 50 public school teachers on its payroll.
 The Catholic school, referred to, had a total of 316 students; the Abrigador school had 400, and Brooklyn 436; Dublin street had 125 and East Gaylord 82. These schools were all located in sec- tions where the Irish of that day lived. Of the 5000 registered pu- pills, the Irish children numbered about one third.
 The Board of Education of the late Seventies and the early Eighties comprised representatives of the Roman Catholic church in the person of the Rev. Lawrence Walsh, pastor of the Church of the Immaculate Conception and Michael Donahue, a highly re- spected resident of the city. Four others were also on the board; the clerk was a lawyer, an out east resident, and 8 prominent lawyer of his day, the late Martin Myers.
 The Catholic church of Water bury was represented on the Board of Education for a number of years by some of it's clergy, such as the late Rev. John A. Mul- cahy, and the late Rev. Hugh Treanor, the original pastor of the church of the Sacred Heart. Fath- CT Treanor was chairman of the board for several terms during the Nineties.
 All of which goes to outline the decency and friendship of the non-C Catholic of years ago par- ticularly in relation to the educa- tion of the young of the city. Of course there was feeling against the Catholic on the part of 8 number of people, as everybody knew at the time. but there was fairness and consideration on the part of others to offset the nar- row attitude of the others.
 We never enjoyed the privilege of a parochial school, but we did mingle and assogaate with many of the student ,b3dy of St. Mary's in its early days. We played ball on the school .ot, as most of old Out East did, sld we were as wel~f come there. as A>lch as were the boys properly entassod to play by reason of their assocsStiOn with & church that provided such piay- ground for the young of the day.
 Waterbury now has many pa- rochiai schools, maintained by the Catholic people themselves. Neith- CT the State nor city provides any part of the up-keep.
 Isn't this rather strange in view Of what was actually done eo and more years ago.

 IN STATE PRISON.

 of Institution

Thcmaston, Me- July 7-UP9- pr. Merrill Joss. s4. mingled for the first time today with other State prison inmates after being sentenced to serve 10 to 20 years on 8 man. slaughter charge in connection with the bludgeon-death of his physi- cian-wife Luyerne in their Rich- mond home March 27.

 A new and remarkably effective treatment for poison ivy has recent sly been made public in the Public Health Reports by Louis Schwartz, Medical Director, and Leon H. War .ren. Acting Assistant Surgeon (Der- s,natology), United States Public Health Service.
 Eleven Persons submitted to the kests. The affected area on the first patient was rubbed vigorously with R piece of gauge soaked in 95 per- cent alcohol, removing the tops from the versicles caused by poison ivy. The alcohol was then allowed to .evaporate, leaving an oozing surface. The serum was wiped of with gauge and 6 ten per cent aqueous solution of tannic acid was painted on. This was allowed to dry for one-han hour and another application was made and allowed to dry. The patient was given 6 two ounce bottle of the ten per cent tannic solution and direct cd to apply the solution to the erup- ton twice daily. He was also told that if any new vesicles appeared these were to be rubbed with alco- 'hor until the tops were rubbed of, when the tannic acid solution should be applied. The patient the next day with the lesion completely crusted over with thin adherent crust and the subjective symtoms gone. No new vesicles had appeared, and in one weeks time the crust had fallen of and the skin had become normal. \ The eruptions in the other cases were more extensive, invoving the face and extremities. It was thought that instead of painting on the tan-
 1ic acid solution it might better be applied as wet dressings after the tops of the vesicles had been rubbed oR with alcohol ?saturated gauge or the tops clipped of with sterile scis- sors. Patients were instructed to rub oil the tops of any new vesicles and to apply the wet dressings daily for one-half hour periods. No dressing was used after the compress had been applied. In only one of these cases did the pruritus fail to re- spond to @ few applications of tan mic acid solution. In this case the addition of Q three percent alcohol to the wet dressing stopped the itching. Phenol itself is protein coagtilant and tanning agent. The authors suggest to physicians that in cases where the pruritus is so severe that the tannic acid does not relieve 1t, phenol to 3 per cent may be added to the solution. Tn exten- sive cases they advise that not more than 1 per cent of phenol should be used for congresses on account of the danger of systemic absorption. Tn all such cases the patient should be under the observ- ation of the family physician for signs of systemic absorption and poisoning by phenol, dark smoky
