Rattlesnake Bites.

Mr.. E. G. Potter. OF Bellevue, Iowa, gives
through the Country Gentleman, the follow
ing infalllble remedy for snake bites, and
adds
1t is my belief that it will cure the bite Of
a mad dog as effectually as that OF a rattle
.snake-both animal poisons. The newspa-
per reports state that it was given to u
young lady i'll Illinois, bitten by a mad dog,
after she had three paroxysms, though it
took frequent deses to cure her.
Twill give the formula for preparing the
antdote, which any well read physician,
who knows as much of chemistry as his
profession requires, can prepare:
Bromide, five drachms bichlnrile mer-
curry. two grains iodide pctass, four grains.
Ten drops. administered in tables poonful
of whisky every 20 minutes, until the symp
toms are relieved, for grown persons less
for child, in proportion to age.
