A CURE FOR SNAKE BITE,
Common Plant in Maryland Mountains
Said to Have Wonderful Properties.

Common Plant in Maryland Mountain
Said to Have Wonderful Properties.
In the mountains of Maryland, West Virginia
and Pennsylvania there are so-called ''snake
doctors" who profess to be able to cure the
bites Of venomous serpents by means of plant.
II is a fact that the patients whom they treat
seem always to recover, and tine nature of this
vegetable specific has excited much specula-
ton. Perhaps. unfortunately, it has always
been kept secret by those acquainted with its
alleged virtues.
The identity of the plant in question has re-
Gently been discovered by~Dr. W. j. Hoffman
of the chronological bureau. who has travelled
much and studied all sorts of living things in
those regions. 1t is the ''Sanicula Marylandica,"
the more common botanical name for which is
"sanicle." This is a species belonging to q veg
etable genus which was known to the ancient
Romans II not in earlier times. as having cura-
tive powers in cases of snake bite.
The popular name for the plant in the noun
tains where ii CREWS is the master root the
meaning of which is that it is master of the
serpent. Experiments will doubtless now be
made with it by medical men on scientific
principles. III, as does not seem unlikely. it is
proved to possess such virtues are attributed
to it. it will find its way into the pharmacopeia
before long as recognized remedy.
Up to the present time medical science has
not hit upon any satisfactory remedy for snake
bite, though savages In various parts of the
world profess to be acquainted with plants
which serve the purpose. In India it is said
that the mongoose, a small mammal. which is a
bitter foe to the fierce and venomoas serpents
of that country, after being wounded in a con-
fiict with one seeks peculiar herb and pre-
serves its life breating it. In that part of the
world cures are undoubtedly effected by ma
tive doctors by means unfamiliar to reg
ular physicians. their art apparently having
some relation to that of the ancient Psyli or
snake charmers. Beyond sucking the wound
and restricting the circulation OF the blood by
ligatures the modern science of healing knows
scarcely anything that is useful In the treat
ment Of patient who has been bitten by a
deadly serpent.
