BITE OF RATTLEsNAkE CURED IN
Two HouRs. The Petersburg IVA J En-
press publishes the following from a reli-
able correspondent:
A carpenter, while engaged few
days ago in pulling down an old house,
and in removing some rotten timbers
near the ground, was bitten by a rattle
snake. In few moments his finger
swelled to four times its natural size, and
a red streak commenced running up his
hand and wrist. A deadly langor
came over him, and his vision grew dim,
clearly indicating that the subtle poison
that was coursing through his veins was
rapidly approaching the citadel of life
But remedy was tried, merely by way
of an experiment, which, to the surprise
of all present, acted like a charm, the
component parts of which were onion,
tobacco and salt. of equal parts, made
into pourice and applied to the wound,
and at the same time a cord was bound
tightly round his wrist. In two hours
afterwards he was so far recovered as TO
be able to resume his work. knew an
old negro who cured boy that had been
bitten by mad dog by the same appli-
catlons.'
