Many; people have an idea that eucalyptus, taken internally, is> an excellent medicine (says the Argub). In this belief, they take- it as if it were cantoroil, in tabletpoonfuls. As a. matter of fact, eucalyptus is a medicine to be taken sparingly, it being quite possible that an overdose will kill as effectually as any other poison. A tew drops onsugar may do good ; a, tablespoorrf id may do an immense amount of harm. John Sullivan, 45 yeais of age, had asthma, and to cure it relied upon the time-honoured eucalyptus oil. He took three ta»blespoonfuls of it and walked out of the Home for the Ag*d Poor and Infirm (of which place fn> was an inmate), to ba picked up later by Constable Connolly on a vacant allotment at South Richmond. He was admitted j to the Melbourne Hospital suffering from the- effects of the poison, and is now recovering. Mr. J. P. Jepson, of the Stores Shipping Department of the railway service, who has been transferred to Invercargill, was presented with a Gladstone bag by the employees of the Stores Shipping Yard at the Hotel Cecil on Wednesday afternoon.
