Poison Ivy Distinction and Home Remedies Taught
Poisoning. So many persons are poisoned every year by ty sone Sewell to learn how to distinguish the plant at a glance and avoid it. Orchard and Garden tells how to distinguish it from the woodbine or Virginia creeper, which is harmless, but often confounded with the poison ivy. The woodbine has five leaves, the'poison dyy only three. The latter also has leaves as slighter, more vivid green and more glossy. It climbs on feaches and stone walls, which it covers thickly, but often branches out more like a tree than soine. Many sufferers from ivy poisoning have been cured by bathing the poisoned parts in a strong lye made from wood ashen, while a few doses of olive oil, taken immediately, will often give relief.
