    2 A.D. 1868.—N 3096. Provisional Specification. Jarvis^ Improved Labels for 'Poison Bottles, thereby rendering it impossible that a bottle so fitted can be grasped and used without an appeal being made through the sense of touch or through the senses of touch and sight. The form of the label attachment, as will he obvious, may he very diversified. I prefer the following:—I take a piece of fiexihle card- 5 hoard and pass it around the neck of the bottle; when in that position I fasten the sides by a stud or otherwise, and thereby leave a conical cardboard projection or shield which very much resembles an ordinary' shade fitted to a Careel or other lamp. Metal or other material can he used in place of the cardboard; I prefer the latter because it is not 10 costly and it retains the shape.
