Cure TOR the tlte Of q SNAKE.
Mir. roULsoN-iias ing read in your
paper OF yesterday an account of a
boy bitten by Pilot or Copper head
Snake, and the means used for his
cure, I am induced to send sou the
ease of man bitten by Rattle
Snake.
A few years since l employed Ben
lamin Hnman TO build "a Saw Mill on
tir waters oil The Delaware, in The
State Of New York this man was
one day sitting on stick of tim|!sr
aud carelessly swinging his naked foo;
.shen he felt something strike il. OH
ionking down he observed "a large

pain that he could not reach it his
cries brought the work man TO his
assistance. He had very severe spasni-
at short intervals, and which h.

spssms increased in streugth and fire
gneuey, with scarcely half a minutes
interniission, and he exclaimed ." be

alive" There was no physician in th'
|neighborhood. l proyidentially re
memhered an arrount l had seen in
al EHglisb publication Of two viper
patchers "a man aud his wite) who
suffered themscIver to be bitten by
yipers to obtain the reward offered
for a remedy against the bite Of those
Snakes; these people cured themselves
and obtained the reward. The remedy
was Sweet Oil taken internally.
As Oil was not to be had, l substi-
tuted melted Hogs Lard, and gave
two thirds OF common tea cup full
every five minutes ; the effect was
Immediately apparent ; the spasms
became less violent. decreased in fire.
queney, and within half An hour
ceased entirely.
The external applications were.
scarifying the part bitten. binding H.
gatnres OF white ash bark above the
ankle andunder the knee, and piacius.
the foot in mud.
The foot was much swelled, but the
swelling did not reach above the liga-
ture at the ankle--it Afterwards
turned dark with greenish streaks, q
continued somewhat inilanea anc
painful but these uueayorable cir
leums,anees were afterwards removed
by applying a Chicken, newly killed,
TO the foot. IL was several days after
the bite before the Chicken was APP
piled.
From the above eases of the Viyer
Catehers, of BENZ. Homan, ami Of the
Boy, mentioned in your psper OF yes
terday, may we not conclude, that
drinking Sweet Oil, or melted Hogs
Lard, and applying the warm flesh Of
ia Chicken to the part bitten. will
prevent the fatal effects frequently
produced by the bite Of venom Snskes,
These remedies arc simple, can have
mo iniurisns effects, and are generally
