In Pennsylvania the oil of rattle
snakes is preserved most carefully as n
liniment especially good for sore joints
and for rheumatism. In procuring the
oil the dead snake is nailed head and
tail to board and cut open. The fat
Is taken out and laid upon cloth in
the hot sun, from which the filtered oil
drips into jar. From fear that the
reptile may have bitten ITSELF the clear
oil is tested by dropping a portion of it
into milk. If 1t floats in one globule, it
Is regarded as unaffected; If, on the
other hand, 1t breaks into beads and
curdles the milk, 1t is judged to be poi
l"nous and thrown away.
