Green Pineapple Juice.

The juice of the green pineapple is accredited in Java, the Philippines and throughout the far east generally with being a blood poison of a most deadly nature. Health mentions it as the substance with whieh the Malays poison their creeses and daggers and as the “finger-nail” poison formerly in use among aboriginal Javanese women almost universally. These women cultivated a nail on each hand to a long, sharp point, and the least scratch from one of these was certain death.
