YOU HAVEN'T ETCHED TIL YOU'VE HAD IVY POISONING

- eeAAA$ " 4 VASOINAINI
 Once I was severely censured by an editor for using the term pruri- tus in my copy. Well, I suppose the eultor's annoyance was justified. Some of our medical terms are funny that way. However, the term pruritus means simply itching with out a rash or other skin lesion to account for 1t.
 Other than mention one or two simple remedies for the relief of such itching I'm afraid can do nothing for sufferers here, but I have Q pamphlet about it that gives various remedies or suggests treatment, and any reader may have Q copy on written request if he provides stamped self f-addressed envelope.
 Of all kinds of itching I ever had -and I have had many kinds in- cluding the seven (year, day, hour depending on treatment) itch, the most maddening itch = gosh all hemlock, wonder if that wasn't what put me of my nut in the first place?-is ivy poisoning. I con- tracted 1t in the summer, the first and only attack ever had, and the itching persisted pretty constantly till the next spring. I still feel like kicking the furniture when recall that the ivy toxin treatment (daily intramuscular injections of home opathic doses of ivy extract) was not introduced until after my bout -or if 1t was in use had not learned of 1t.
 I believe the best treatment for ivy poisoning is a. daily intramus- cular injection of ivy toxin, wheth- CT the trouble is just beginning or the itching fingers on long after the skin inflammation has passed. Tn many cases a single "shot" seems to bring the attack to an end with in few days.
 Local physician gives victims of ivy poisoning Rhus Tox pills (ho- meopathic) internally and the trou- ble clears up promptly. (H. c. O.
 Next time you have ivy poisoning (writes H. R. M put on the white of an egg in the morning and for- get all about the desire to scratch.
 Spread a slice of well moistened white bread with a thick layer of baking soda and apply it to the ivy poisoning. It gives instant relief.
 (Mrs. J. M. c.
 I tried none of these remedies when I had ivy poisoning, the only relief I obtained from the itching was from sopping on the well known Calamine Lotion to each four ounces of which one ounce of 5 per cent phenol (carbolic acid) solution in water was added. That makes a per cent carbolic lotion. Druggists may sell 5 per cent car- bolic acid solution in water without prescription.)
 Calamine lotion itself is a popular lotion for the relief of itching, irri- tation, mild sunhurn. It is a mix ture of about two teaspoonfuls of calamine powder, two teaspoonfuls of zinc oxide powder, one-half tea spoonful of glycerin, in enough lime water to fill a four-ounce vial. Shake 1t up well and apply as often as desired by dabbing on with fing- CTS.

 You needn't. Walt Hilyard n1en- toned this morning that he had dinner with you. Has his wife been guilty of breach of promise?"
 T feel like dog for having let 1t slip; but you're as fond of Walt as I am. He deserves happiness if ever @ man did. But he spends half his life in slow hell.
 "Now take @ business partner ship, or an ordinary contract. If the other party doesn't live up to the agreement, you dissolve the partner ship or sue for damages" nUNBAR laughed dryly: Are you D proposing that a man should sue his wife for damages because she = well, depreciates in value, with the wear and tear of ordinary usage?"
 "But man and wife oughtn't to depreciate with the years. They change, yes. But their life ought to ripen and sweeten. We speak of a married couple as one. Well, they ought to get more and more one the longer they live.

 "I'm talking as If l was crazy with the heat, but married life ought to be one long ecstacy. And 1t can be, If both parties keep the contract. Walt doesn't want a divorce. He doesn't t want to dump Margaret on the world. But he ought to be able to force her to keep her promises, in- piled as well as sworn at the altar.
 Dunbar smiled unhappily: And if she won't, you suggest that he go to law to enforce the contract, or sue her for damages? How would you assess such damages?"
 That's your business. You're in the law, make one. Don't you have things you call loss of good will and loss of efficiency, intense mental pain and suffering, and all that sort of thing? All I'm thinking of is saving Walt from ruined life"
 T wish I could help you - and him. I haven't met his lady, but I've noticed that he's not so cheer full since she's moved to town with him."
 Coming here used to be an es- cape for Walt. Now his wife has taken up the slack in his chain. It's 8 terrible thing for a man to have no home to 90 home to. It must be worse to find in 1t nothing but the living skeleton of an old love"

CHAPTER VI


 HOURS later Sue was wakened H from her light and fretful sleep by Toms fumbling at the deer and tiptoeing upstairs to his room. Sue longed to go to him and talk to him for hours: but she knew that he would be drugged with sleep and the fatigue of romance. And in the morning she kept the house quiet, realizing that there was no gift more precious to soldier than a morn- ing without reveille. Tom woke and had his breakfast while she had her luncheon, and would not talk of the war, but only of Jennifer- his future war, Sue thought, re- membering Margaret.
 And downtown in his office, Len was thinking about Margaret, too, though he was in conference with William Dunbar, a member of the firms legal department, over the desperate business of renegotiat- ing the firms contracts with the. government after the war was over. Abruptly Len brought up the matter that was haunting him:
 Speaking of terminating con- tracts, Bill. know you are one of those criminals called corpora tion lawyers, but do you ever handle breach of promise casesp"
 Dunbar nodded: T tried one or two when I was young and des- perate for clients. But it's un- savory business, and going out of style. Why do you ask? Have you been making impossible pro- misses to some trusting gazelle? Doesn't she know you're already nlarried?"
