Dr. Christoph stated he loved
plants and human life. They both
have much in common; yet are
still faced with the greatest mir

The topic -lor discussion was
“Poisonous Plants. Dr. Christoph
said there are 300,000 plants in, the
United States and that 500 -of

Among these are: the sweet pea,
sweet cloves, hemlock, ,fox-glove.
Iris, mandrake, ;ted root, polk
weed, dog-wood, golden rod among
others.
There is still little information
on these plants as to type of poison
and remedy, yet many of these
plants are used in treating many
ills of man. Among the plants
listed as irritants, are poison oak,
poison ivy, elephant ear, spider
lilies, narcissus, dogwood and
