LATEST ANTIDOTES

Remedial Agent Of Greatest Value

Which Counteracts Weak

The Carnegie Institute has granted 1000

vestigation Of snake poison which is going
on there.
Upon lines that Doctor 8. Weir Mitchell
suggested. Doctor Simon Fiexner and Doc
tor Hideyo Noguchi have been studying at
tho university for two years the venom Of
cobras. rattlesnakes and other poisonous
reptiles.
Highly interesting are the sxperiments
that in the course of their work these two
scientists have made. They believe that It
is possible in time to discover for each kind
Of venom an antidote.
The chloroforminK of . snake and the sx-
traction of its poison while 1t lies uncon-
scious are operations frequently performed
and interesting to see.
The snake Is first seized with Q lasso
about the middle. The lasso IL q leather

IL ne world would not help YOU to raise
yourself clean and fair many times.
The arm is used SO much by every hu-
man being that In ninety-nine persons out
of hundred It is much stronger in pro-
portion than any other part OF the body
except. perhaps, the legs.
And naturally. in the case of boys who
have not indulgsd in any athletic exercises,
this disproportion is still greater than 1t Is
in the case OF those who have developed
the other muscles to some extent at least.
Therefore. the average boy who goes in
first OF all to develop his biceps muscle is
developing the very part that Is ahead of
the other muscles in strength already.
The very best way to become a thorough
ly strong person-stronS i'll arm. shoulders.
back. loins. abdomen and legs-is to en-
gage in outdoor work.
And better than mere gymnastical exer-
cises are the exercises WHICH are Incidental

swimming and even fishing.
CLIMBING is A MUSCLE
MAKING EXERCISE
Climbing is one OF the worry best Of all
muscle-makins exercises.
To lift ones weight taxes every muscle
from the neck to the ankles.
The boy who becomes d good climber will
never need 20 fear about his biceps muscle
II it should happen not to be as big as
that of a boy who worked over nothing else.
IL will still be big enough. and in addition
all the other muscles Will be equal to IL.
A good climber is almost always the kind
OF athlete who makes a good wrestler.
This is because climbing not only tests the
strength as no mere exercise can do. but it
makes the eye and hand quick.
Unless 1t is overdone. it creates quick
muscles: that is. muscles that are not only
strong. but active and swift to respond.
Rowing is an exercise that ruins the
symmetrical body of many persons every
year and turns out round-shouldered.
stumbling men. because it is done wrong.
There is no more certain test OF q lazy
person than to watch him row.

shoulders rounded and pulls only with his
arm and shoulder muscles. be sure that he

rise when hidden. though It was growing
weaker. At the end of fifty minutes it had
LOST all power over its hind legs. At the
end Of eighty minutes its breathing was la
bored. At the end Of three hours 1t was
dead
A man-one of the attendants-was bitten
by RATHER at the university by accident.
In few minutes he became sick at tho
stomach and very weak. His face paled. a
cold sweat broke out on him. his breathing
was hurried and his pulse feeble.
A NECESSARY STTMULANT.
This was the first stage of the attack. and
in 1t the wound itself gave no pain. In the
second stage-the stage of recovery-the
wound was painful. The case of this man
was typical. He was pulled through with
out trouble.
The physicians experiments have shown
so far that the antidote5 usually recon-
mended for snake bite are almost worth
less.
They regard alcohol taken internally. as
very valuable-not as an antidOte, but as 4
stimuant. Persons bitten by snakes can
take extraordinary quantities of whisky or
brandy-two quarts. say. in an hour-with-
out exhibiting sign OF drunkenness.
On animals alcohol has been tried as
stimuant with good effect. In every case
it has done much to tide the victim over the
stage of prostration that follows the
snakes bite.
The remedial agent that Is Of the greatest
known value Is the intermittent Ggature-
the tight band. drawn about the wounded
limb, that Ia loosened for an instant at stat
ed intervals. thus allowing the poison to
enter the system gradually in tiny quanti-
ties.
The system combats the poison well
where the intermittent ligature Is used; and
alcohol, given each time the band is loos-
ened, helps much to counterfeit the weak
ening effect Of the entering venom.
One experiment proves that the mechan-
ism which controls the act of striking in
the rattlesnake lies in the spinal cord.
Snake poison taken into the stomach is
a. harmless as bread. Snakes have been
made to swallow their own venom, and no
evil results have followed.

the two fangs.
These fangs now lie. as 1t were, upon the
saucer. The operator takes them, one at
time, between the thumb and forefinger Of
his right hand. and strips them forward

base to the up-and thus all their venom Is
extracted.
This venom. yellow, and Of the thickness
Of molasses. runs out upon the saucer. and
1t Is gathered in a vial and sealed up.
In the experiments with live animals that
the university carries on. 1t is thought best
to inject the venom hypodermically rather
than to allow the snake itself to do the In
jecting In the ordinary manner with its
fangs. because a snake does not always
strike effectively. Sometimes II fails to
elevate its fangs sufficiently to inject into
Its victim more than drop or two of
venom.
FANGS DOUBLED BACKWARD.
Sometimes it strikes fiercely and it's teeth
are actually fastened for a moment in the
animals flesh. but the fangs are doubled
backward. and not drop Of venom Is in
jected into the wound.
Yet, to all appearances. the bite has been
terrible one, and an experimenter. admin
istering to the wounded animal a certain
antidote, would decide that this antidote
was a marvelously potent one-would hold
1t to have cured the animal Immediately
