II. T. Aldrich. a fruiterer. doing
business IL EastOn, Md, was bitten
on his hand by tarantula. which
Jumped from a bunch of bananas.
Quickly Mr.. Aldrich's hand swelled
to thrice its natural size. He had
presence of mimi enough TO hgature
the wrist. thus keeping the poison
from the larger veins and arteries.
Then he rushed into a drug store,
close by, with a hand at that time
nearly as big as his head, and called
for iodine. A stream of this liquid
was poured on the hand, the llgature
was bound more tightly around the
wrist and in hour the swelling had
visibIy subsidized, and in another hour
the pain was gone and the hand re-
duced nearly 10 it's normal size. Mr..
Aldrich says iodine is considered a
specific for tarantula bites, and that

handle them IN large quantities keep
