alkalied. (1) Poisoned by alkaline water.

It is not known, however, that toxic alcohol found in certain plains plants causes so-called alkali poisoning. (2) Someone seasoned in the ways of the West, an old hand, a vet- eran, especially a veteran of what was called “the big dry coun- try,” the alkali plains.
