Snake Poison and Human Poison

Snake Poison and Human Poison.
The bite of the rattlesnake Is al
most always fatal to man. Yet this
snake is never affected by the injec-
ton Of its own poison into its own
blood, neither when enraged IL bites
itself nor when its venom Is IT, ected
by artificial means to test the ques-
ton. Speaking on the latter point
DR.. s. Weir Mitchell, an expert on
snake poison. says: IL have over aud
over tried this experiment, but in no
case have | seen death result. Why
should this BET"
DIR. Mitchell further says: "The
many noxious compounds man car
ries in his liver and gastric glands
(the stomacb) are fatal II they enter
the blood In any large amount.
There Is scarcely an organ in mans
body which Is not possible source
Of poison TO him. Small doses are
constantly passing into aud out Of
his blood. The question is whether
he can get rid Of II a. fast as IL &C.
cumulates."
Abiding to death by rheumatism,
govt, and kidney disease, an eminent
London physician says: Thus man

own body"
Now let us cite q passage from
mans experience rs related by him
self. The time extends over period
from March, 1883, to May, 1889, more
than q year. He says: MY head
used to whirl around, and | had fire.
quent bouts Of faintness aud giddi-
ness; aud at such inss I ussd 10 fall

and weaker and lost deal Of sleep.
| felt worse tired Ia the morning
than when i went to bed. After .
while l became nervous, and my legs
troubled and shook under me- to
such q degree that | feared to walk
out. j had great pain in my kid
neys, and the secretion which | void
ed from them was thick and yellow
as the yolk OF an egg. Month after

more, and could hardly crawl about.

his medicines did not benefit me.
lie said my liver aud kidneys were
IN a bad way, aud that he never saw
secretions passed in such q state.
After treating mo six months, no
told mo that medicine could do no
more for me and advised me to 60
to n hospital. l went to the Peter.
borough Hospital, but got worse
while there. The hospital doctors
refused to tell me- what allied mo.
Having spent two months there, l
got anxious and returned to my
home, utterly disheartened. l con-
tinued to send to the hospital for
medicines, which ] took for three
months longer. was now SO ema-
ciated that my friends who came to
see me said would never get we'll.
"ln this condition continued un-
til May, 1889, when one day an UNI
brella vendor called at my house,
aud, seeing how i'll was, said his
wife had been cured OF serious ill.,
ness by Mother Seigel's Curative
Syrup. He spoke SD earnestly Of il

taking the Syrup for ten days ! felt
in better spirits; my food agreed
with me, aud from that time gain

work as healthy and strong as ever.
Since then have been in the best
Of health. You are at liberty to
publish the above facts, aud l will
gladly reply to any inquiries. Yours

No brief comment can do justice
to this remarkable case. What the
public needs to know and to remem-
Der is this: Mr.. Welfare's whole sys-
tom was poisoned by the products
Of a torpid and inactive digestion.
These had entered his blood, as DR..
Mitchell describes. The nervous
system was disordered and half
Paralysed; hence the faintness and
falling fits. Rattlesnake poison
kills by paralysing the nerves which
actuate the lungs; il kills by sutfo-
cation. Human poison, arising from
indigestion and dyspepsia, always
operates in the same direction, caus-
ing asthma in its worst forms. II
then attacks the heart and kidneys,
causing the state Of things Mr..
Welfare mentions. Nothing more
noxious, or, in the end, surely fatal
exists in any poisonous reptile. And
yet people trihe with the disease! and
doctors seem not to understand il.
