In Their Own Words
“A party was poisoned at Three Mile Creek, Box Elder County, recently, through partaking of lemonade which they had made in a brass kettle. The acids of the lemonade gathered with the verdigris of the kettle and produced a poisonous compound. Prompt medical attendance relieved the children and saved their lives. — Millennial Star 48:26”
