with its venomous fangs darting
back and forth, a rattlesnake was the
principal object of interest yesterday
at the annual meeting of the State vet
erinary Medical Association in the UNI

laboratory, at Thirty-ninth street and

had seen il used in an effort to obtain

mankind in a position TO look with IN
difference upon all snake bites.
No antivenine has ever been pro-
duced in this country. A little OF II
has come here from the Partisan laDo-
ratory Of Professor Calmette.
Antivenine is the serum SKINNED

much poison from a serpent has been
forced into his system that he is i'm
mune to snake bites. Only two horses
in this country now are becoming i'm
mune, and both are in the Mulford
laboratory Many horses have beer
killed by overdoses of snake poison
since the experiments began. DR.
Ranck has killed three, although he
injected only twO-hundredths OF 9
gramme of venom into each.
With the two animals now in the
laboratory Dr. Ranck has exercised tn,
greatest care and into them his frs
| Injection was only the 250th of Z
gramme. This made the animals abou

made III by vaccination. When thel
became well the doses were increased
in size gradually until now one OF th'
horses. which is nearly immune, car
take about all the poison that u rattle
snake could exude without suffering

within another month.
When immune, the horse, under ;
lance, will yield a quantity of bloot
from which will be taken a serum
containing antvenine that will be al
astidOte for snake bites.
Dr. Ranck wanted more venom To-
his horses yesterday and he and Othe
surgeons went to the laboratory to us
tne vicious rattle. There are fort,
rattlesnakes and copperheads in tn
laboratory. DR.. Ranck caught one
seized him by the neck. held his hea
over a glass dish and rubbed his venom
glands forward until every drop o
poison which the creature possesse
had dropped into the dish
DR.. Ranck says there are only fOu
kinds OF poisonous snakes in this coun
try. In India Go 900 persons die an

morning, Judge Bradford increased the
bail Of Dr. c. c.. Raymonde, charged

conviction. the punishment is a fine Of
not exceeding $500, and term Of i'm
prisonment not more than eighteen
months.
Raymonde and his wife are still in
the office Of the United States marshal

desires to remain with her husband.
