Effects of an Adder's Bite.

W, 4. Fudge. in London Nature.
As cases of poisoning from the bite OF
venomous reptiles are happily rare In this
country, 1t may prove interesting to some OF
your readers If l relate my experience on
this matter.
About month ago 1 caught two snakes
at Blckleigh, near Plymouth, and while ex-
aiming ono it bit" or rather struck
me on the lower part of the right thumb
| Immediately sucked the puncture dt could
not be called wound which bed a little
and tried to make light of the matter. A
livld patch soon formed around the point,
and the hand and arm commenced to swell.
In quarter of an hour | was unable to
hold anything and almost in a fainting
condition. The first symptom apart from
the swelling) was peculiar taste and a sem
sation OF swelling in the teeth then the
tongue commenced to swell aud became so
large that l could hardly move it, aud nv
eyes seemed ready to start from their
sockets
In half an hour a terrible vomiting COM
menced, preceded by excruciating pains in
the stomach and heart, and continued with
the pains altogether for nine hours, every
drop of liquid being elected almost as soon
as swallowed; there was also violent purg-
ing and complete suppression of urine.
There was practically no pain in the arm
Altogether the painful symptoms lasted for
about nine hours
did not lose consciousness at any time
The arm continued to swell for two DAYS
and then it was nearly as large as my leg.
After this the swelling subsidized, but the
arm did not return TO its normal size until
twelve days after the accident. After the
swelling had gone, | suffered very much
from rheumatic pains, and, in fact, do so
now, and the digestion was also very much
impaired. The viper Is a male a little more
tina two feet long and about one inch in
diameter at the largest part. Color, dull
yellowish brown on the upper side, with a
zlgzag black line running down the whole
length. On the under side 1t ia nearly
black, except at head, where it is pale yell
low. l have kept the reptile now for nearly
five weeks, and although we'll supplied with
small frogs. ETC., it has not eaten anything
and seems as lively as ever.
