DR.. Calmeth is experimenting on
the introduction of Pasteur's inocula-
ton methods to the cure OF snake
bites. His idea is that venomous ami
mails are unaffected by their own
poison, and that therefore persons
bitten by such animals may be cured
by inoculating them with the blood
of the animal. He has obtained ex-
cellent effects by inoculating or in
jecting viper's blood into various ami
mails. The blood is first treated by
heat, or by chemical agents, such as
hyposulphite of soda. His results
confirm those recently obtained by
MN. Phisalix and Bertrand at the
laboratories of the Paris Museum.
