TREATMENT FOR SNAKERIrE

We chronicle two cases of rattle
snake bite, both occurring last week.
one here and the other at City Point,
One was treated by DR.. Holmes and the
other by DR.. Wilson, and both patients
are now out of danger.
Drs. Holmes and Wilson use the
same treatment for snakebites, viz:
the hypOdermic injection of a three or
four per cent. solution of permangan-
ate of potash in or near the wound
and the internal administration of
echinacia in teaspoonful doses every
half hour until five or six doses are
taken, then less frequently, and they
both use strychnine and glonon hy-
podermically to strengthen and sustain
the heart, and also morphine to relieve
the pain.
Persons bitten by a poisonous snake
should at once cut off the circulation
in the limb bitten by tying a hand
kerchief or other ngature above the
wound, and then should make a free
inciSion including the wound and get
treatment as outlined above by a
physician or if one cannot be secured
at once, by themselves or their neigh
bOrS. AS soon as possible after the in
lection and internal administration of
echinacia the ligature should be re-
moved from the limb, for if it is re-
tanned there too long the limb will
mOrtify and amputation of the limb
become necessary.
The subsequent treatment of the case
must be left to the judgment of the
physician as no positive treatment can
be outlined for every case, as no two
Will be exactly alike Every family
should keep on hand a good hypoder-
mic syringe and a bottle of perman-
ganate solution, and enough echinacia
to treat case should a physician not
be obtainabie in a short tim. Titus

to death. The loss of blood weakens

blood gives the body strength. The
strengthening effect of DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery is in large
part due to it's action on the blood

ply of pure, rich blood that it pro-
duces. 1t is only when the blood is i'm
poverished and impure that disease

it antagOnistic to disease. When the
body is emaciated, the lungs are weak,
and there is obstinate, lingering

against disease, and so increases the
vitality that disease is thrown off, and
