REMEDY FOR PRIMULA POISON. 



I recently noted, in reading the Day- 

 ton correspondence in The Review, that 

 one of the florists of that city was 

 having trouble with obconica poison- 

 ing. Several years ago, before I knew 

 the plant was poisonous, I had a seri- 

 ous time with what our family phy- 

 sician thought was poison, but as it 

 was winter, I was doubtful as to the 

 correctness of the physician's opinion. 

 Just then, however, I read an item in 

 The Review about obconica poisoning. 

 I told the physician, but none of his 

 remedies did any good. Then a neigh- 

 bor told me she used common copperas 

 water as a remedy. I tried it and 

 found it entirely effective. I have 

 never seen any reference to this rem- 

 edy in The Review, so I am telling 

 my experience in the hope that it may 

 be of benefit to some one in the trade.
