IMMUNE TO SNAKE POISON.
Think Nothing of being stunk
by Reptiles.

A gentleman from northern Georgia.
whose statements cannot be doubted,
told story of a family. at least IA
ther and son. almost incredible. They
live near the Durham mines on the
Sand mountain and are named VII
son. The remarkable thing Connected
with them Is an entire absence of fear
of snakes, even OF the most venomous
description, and their immunity from
any evil effects from the bites of the
deadliest reptile, says the Chattanooga
News.
The father and son came TO the mines
not many days ago. according TO the
statement OF this gentleman. the son
with large copperhead. one of the
deadliest Of Georgia's many deadly
snakes, coiled in his cap on top OF his
head. The father had a large rattle
snake, about 1--we feet long. in his
bosom next 10 his skin. They seemed
no more afraid Of them than IL they
were pet mice. and after putting these
strange pets upon the ground this
extraordinary pair. in order TO prove
their lack OF fear, provoked the snakes
until each was bitten In the arms and
legs a number of times.
No III effects whatever were mani
Tested. and the man told the narrator
that no snake bite had the slightest
effect on him. He aud his son can take
up the most deadly snakes. such as the
copperhead. rattlesnake and mecca.
sin, without any thought OF possible
snake bites, other than the slight pain
naturally experienced.
The man had no explanation to offer.
saving that be has been th6t way since
he can remember. Physicians try 10
explain II by saying that they have be-
come proof by continuous bites and
innocu.ation. somewhat In the same
way that inBoculatiou with smallpox
virus or vaccination protects against
contracting smallpox but this can
hardly be trne, IL the man Is to be be-
lieved, since he states that he has en-
Joyed immunity since his earliest child
hood, and the son, small boy. is also
immune and has been all his life.
The ease Is -sne which might be
protitahly Investigated by physicians
and scientific men. A few such eases
have been told of before. but vaguely
and indefinitely. but this Is souched for
by such undeniably good and reliable
authority that there can he no possible
doubt of its truth.
The intormer is positive that the poi
son fangs of the snakes exhibited had
not been extracted. and he is equally
positive that there was no deception
practiced After submitting to the
bites the man and the boy both showed
their hands and legs. and the small
punetures with the blood exudfnr
therefrom were seen by dozens OF peo.
pie.
Whatever the power possessed by
this abnormal pair. there Is no qnes.
tien as to the poisonous character of
the snakes, nor of the fact that they
bite their keepers. and that the bites
were absolutely ianoeuaus.
