Some of the fungi, for example, appear to need higher compounds to start with; and no known plant can live upon the uncompounded elements of protoplasm. A plant supplied with pure carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, phosphorus, sulphur, and the like, would as infallibly die as the animal in his bath of smelling-salts, though it would be surrounded by all the constituents of protoplasm.
"My son!" screamed the Amazonian queen. They embraced. At the same moment a loud flop was heard on the quarter-deck. It was the forgotten mermaid, who, emerging from her stateroom, and ascending the companion-way at that moment, had fainted at the spectacle. The Pirate Prodigy rushed to her side with a bottle of smelling-salts. She recovered slowly.
It did him no good. He could have completed the table himself. "In the lining." Her lips managed to frame the words. Kennedy literally tore the bag apart. There was nothing but a plain white blank card. With a superhuman effort she moved her lips again. "Smelling-salts," she seemed to say. I looked about. On the dressing-table stood a little dark-green bottle.
"Have you any smelling-salts or anything of that sort? Perhaps you can find a little brandy. Hurry." While we were making her comfortable the telephone continued to tinkle.

What's that address on South Street?
A thermos bottle filled with coffee went into Ruth's bag, while Curly was laden with a substantial lunch, a roll of bandages, a bottle of arnica and some smelling-salts, beside the lantern.
