With regard to the modes of instruction, adop-

ample opportunity for doing so by entering the

TIE RATTLEsNAKE Us. SCIEECE.-Science
implies knowledge acquired BY learned re-
search. Has science discovered an antidote to
the poison of the venomous rattlesnake? In
medical journals, and some newspapers it ls
heralded, that bromine, iodide Of potassium,
bi-chloride Of mercury, combined, is soTer-
eign remedy. Armed with this, even less vul
nerable than Hercules, one nay step into den
of rattlssnakss. and fear no danger. Whether
such claim is of fiction or fact, let severe ex-
pertinent decide. Doctor BRIGGS and Ashley,
two eminent and experienced physicians OF
TroupviTe, subjected to a severe test this rem
edy claimed as infailible. Having procured a
rattlesnake near SIX feet long, and having
ready the famous remedy they caused a small
/ dog to be struck twice BY the snake. The first
was a slight wound on the side, the second a
/ deep incision-one Of the fangs Of the snake
penetrating low, in the rear of the left shout
/ der and near the region Of the heart. The
| Thermometer at the time was at ninety-four de-
grees In less than one minute the dog mani
/ tested symptoms Of great uneasiness and dis
/ tress-in three minutes it staggered and fell
in -four minutes one-fourth ounce OF the medi-
cine was administered-in fifteen minutes from
the time OF the bite tbree-fourths Of an ounce
was given at regular intervals. No apparent
effect was produced. The dog lay motionsss
and seemingly insensible, breathing laborious'
". The breathing became gradually more
feeble, and in one hour and twenty-five minutei
from the time Of the bite, the dog died. I'M
was a severe but fair test Of that much extoli
ed remedy. The bane triumphed over the an
tidote. This test may prove the famous reuedl
fslacious one, or it may prove that when ID
rattlesnske strikes some more vital pars o
near some great vital region, no remedy ma.
avail against the poison. Science must gai
new Neutrality-suspicious. must yet eKperimen
and investigats, in search Of the antidote. In
rsttlesnske, mortal foe to life to the diseom
fture Of science, sleeps on the battleheid.-
