avail himself of the first opportunity to leave the State

secondly the investment of diplomatic power in the Cap

CuRE FOR THE VENOM OF SNAKES AND IN
sEcrs.-A correspondent of the n. Y. Tribune,
signing himself ''Old Physician" asserts that
the virus of snakes, &C., is " Prussc Acid" and
stated that the antdote for it is spirits of harts-
horn (ammonia). After a person is bitten he
recommends few drops applied to the wound'
and 20 drops drank mixed with little water
and whiskey. This dose is to be taken every
ten or twenty minuts, until profnse persplra-
ton is produced, when all the symptoms OF the
poison, he asserts, viii disappear. THIS anti
dote, he says. is perfect and untallng, an'
every person is advised to carry it with him
whenever he goes aIGOng venomous reptiles
