The results of the experiments of DR..
Elho on the poison of the rat
tlesnake are: 1. The poison acts upon
blood by destroying the red cor
p~uscles, and by changi the physical
and chemical quality of the plasma. 2.
The poison contains some mobile
bodies, similar to the m%icrococcus of
putrefaction. 8. The blood of an ami
NAL killed by a snakes bite, when in
oculated to another animal of the same
PIE and species, causes the death of
latter within a few hours, under
he same symptoms and the same
changes of the blood. 4. The poison
be dried and preserved for a long
lime without losing its specific quality.
Alcohol is the best antidote for the
poison yet known.
