Cure For Rattlesnake Bite.

Eighty years ago Joseph Greer, the
first settler at Long Eddy, n. Y, learned
the cure for rattlesnake bite from John
Johnson, halfbred Delaware Indian,
who had his wigwam on the Pennsylva-
MIA side of the river, at the foot Of Long
Eddy, and eked out a miserable exis-
tence hunting, fishing, and supplying
the settlers with lead from a mine some
where in the vicinity, to which he would
go and get load and return the same
day. Johnson, like some Indians, was
an lnveterate lover Of whisky, and for
pint OF it would let a rattlesnake bite
him and then cure himself with his rene
dy, which, however, he would not re-
veal. Greer always kept liquor in his
house, and on an occasion when John
son was recovering from one of his fire.
quent spells of drinking to excess, and
was suffering terrible for the want of
liquor, Greer promising never to reveal
the secret while Johnson was alive, sue
ceeded in getting the remedy for pint
of whisky. A few years thereafter
johnson went off with strolling band
of Iniians and never returned. Greer
kept the remedy secret, however, till
from old age he was unable longer TO
answer the calls Of the settlers when any
OF them or their stock had been bitten,
and then told it freely to all. It is as
follows; Apply to the wound a poultice

two hours. Eat freely of the leaves, or
drink often OF tea made from them, Of

leg or arm, bind the leaves in a circle
around it, above and Just beyond the
swelling. Moisten with cold water as
often as they get dry from the fever
created by the poison, and renew two or
three times day. During the time this
remedy has been in use in Mr.. Greer's
neighborhoOd it has effected at least
twenty cures upon human beings.

Prohibition ir, the South.

Nashville Union: The northern
metropolitan papers are very much
surprised at the growth and earnest
ness of prohibition in the south. They
do not seem to understand that it is
the people who are making the prohi-
bition fight and not a mere political
affair; that, unlike the Maine, Iowa
and Nebraska idea of the law, which
is merely a back door and drug store
subterfuge. in the south prohibition
does prohibit. There is no liquor law
in the northern states enforced like the
four. mile law in Tennessee. Even
Kentucky is working in the matter.
and is fast assuming the lead as a pro-
hibition state. Under the influence OF
this movement some of her worst coun-
ties have become among the most quiet
and civilized.
