MoNGooSE AND SNAKEBITE.

There is probably no casualty more
appalling than snakehite, by reason Of
the usually fatal result which follows
the injury when the snake is Of high
" yenomous species, says the Lonron
Chronicle. Even a minute quantity OF
the virus injected into the blood will
prove death dealing within very
short period Of time Remedies for
snakebite have hitherto been limited
to attempts made to prevent the
spread OF the poison through the sys-
tenn and TO the terrifying OF the pa
tient against collapse. But till within
very recent times nothing in the way
Of antidote or specific cure for snake.

poisonous species Also II has been
said that the immunity Of the mon
goose, the renowned snake killer, was
due TO the animal eating some herb or
