Some remarkable discoveries have
Just been made In England and France
In regard TO the best method Of treat
ing persons who have been bitten by
serpents and whose blood has been
poisoned thereby. France suffers a
good deal from noxious ylpers, and the
government Is doing It's best 10 ret

900 full-gSsS-i'1' serpents have been cap

number Is supposed to be correspond
ingly great In other parts Of the coun-
try. Mr.. T. Fraser. an English special
list, seems 10 have been the first to
solve the problem OF immunlzing hui
man beings and other animals against
the poison OF serpents. The serum
which he uses Is known as antiyenene
and Is obtained from large animals
which have been immunized by becom-
ing slowly and gradually accustomed
TO the poison. The horse is. par ex-

preparation OF this remedy. What Is
remarkable about this discovery Ia the
almost mathematical precision with
which the antidote can be used. In
