From the New Jersey Courier 9 Jan 1856: "Lard is said to be an antidote for strychnine. Experiments have been made with dogs which seem to prove this fact. Dr. Pace, of Syracuse, has also experimented upon a cat, giving her half a grain of strychnine and following it with a dose of lard. The poison had no effect."

This was on Route 37 West, somewhere near Bimini Drive, in 2010. It is no longer standing.

This building was on Route 33, I believe in Millstone Township, in early 2010. It has since been bulldozed.

I took these photos in April 2010; this site is now where Shop Rite is, along with Panera Bread, a new Staples building, etc, on the corner of Route 37 and Route 166.
