Cure for Rattlesnake Poison.

Charles NJ. Purdy is one of the lead
ing commission merchants of New
York who handle the fruit products of
the Hudson Valley. Mr.. Purdy's
residence is near Marlborough. About
eighty years ago Mr.. Purdy's mother,
then young woman, while ram bling
along the banks of the Hudson, on
what is now the Thomas II. Buckley
estate, was bitten by rattlesnake on
the leg. The poison caused great pain
much, and the old settlers said that
the only thing to do was to mount a
fast horse and ride TO the Marlborough
mountain and coax an old Indian
woman, who lived there all alone in a
cave, to come and cure her. This was
done, and the life of Mrs. Purdy was
saved through the medicine furnished
by this old squaw. 1t is simple
remedy-a small capful OF the juice of
the plantain weed, which is to be found
along every road and in nearly every
doorway in the country.
Mrs. Purdy gave these facts to the
New York Times correspondent for
publication not long since, expressing
the hope that inasmuch as the plantain
juice undoubtedly saved the life of Mr..
Purdy's mother, the same service might
be made available to others if publicity
was given to the facts.
Inquiry made among farmers and
country people generally elected the
information that plantaln weed is used
extensively for poulticing to heal up
running sores and to break up cases of
chills and fever. DR.. A. H. Palmer, of
Malboroug, says that a handful of
plantain leaves made into cup of tea
breaks up severe attacks of certain
malarial disorders whenlother specifics
fail. Old inhabitants say plantain
leaves years ago were considered a sure
cure for hydrophobia. Wood choppers
on the Plattekill, Marlborough and
Shawangunk Mountains say they have
long known that plantain juice would
prevent fatal results from the bite of
rattlesnake Toads and other animals
know the medicinal properties of the
plantain weed When bitten by q
snake they Invariably hop TO where. the
specific can be had.
