to become affected in this manner, as
they are more or lets attracted by the

blood poisoning in Honolulu which
have puzzled the local physicians, may
have been due to the handling of th
plant and letting the sap come into
Cf.ntact with some t light cut or sore.
"I want to have the people warned
against this plant," said Mr. Willing-
