CuRE FOR RATTLE SNAKE B1rE.-Mr.
A. w. Kimball. q resident of Highland,
Clayton County, has = dog which was
bitten three times by rattle snake last
week. once upon his tongue. which
member swelled to that extent that the
mouth would no longer contain it. Mr..
Kimball dissolved a piece Of alum about
the size Of hulled walnut in warm wa.
ter. and forced down the dog the mixture
in three equal doses given about half
hour apart. The result was. the dog
was Immediately relieved. and entirely
recovered in an incredibly short time.
Scientific men frequently try expert.
mcnts on cats and dogs, and it is pre-.
sumed that administering alum to per-
son that had been bitten by one Of these
poisonous reptiles, would have the same
effect that it did on this dog. This cure
is simple. safe, easily procured and con.
veniently carried: and in the woods
where it could not be quickly dissolved.
it could be eaten. There cannot be the
least shadow Of doubt AS to the truth of
the above statement, as it comes direct
and will be certified to if necessary
