Treatment of Snake Bites.


IFrom the Medical Record
c. w. B. Crum has had an average of
two cases of bites by copperheads to treat
every year for a number of years, and
finds the following method to give incom-
parably better results than any other he
has tried: He first freezes the area
around the bite with ethyl chloride spray,
then incises through the wound, usually
making two parallel incisions an inch
long through the two fang wounds. He
then soaks the parts for a few minutes
with strong permanganate solution and
applies dressings wet with this solution.
The edge of this dressing is raised up
every hour or half hour and fresh solu-
ton applied. The trifiing incisions usually
heal in a day; an incision in an area
poisoned by snake bite will heal with ex-
traordinary rapidity, even If no effort is
made at asepsis. He is inclined to at
tribute some virtue to the ethyl chloride
beyond the anesthesia 1t causes. The ex-
tension of the poison seems to be very
quickly checked by this treatment. If the
patient is seen within an hour after the
bite he is usually all right in two or three
hours except for a trifling swelling. In
ternally, he gives a few doses of strych-
nine, sometimes also, in Difference to
popular prejudice, alcohol and ammonia
According to his observation, the bite of
small snakes is likely to be more dan
gerous than that of larger ones. Three
cases are reported illustrating as many
different types of poisoning by copperhead
bites.

Moderate Use Of Alcoholic Drinks Usually
Leads to Increased Use, That to Ruin.

The use of alcoholic drinks in moderate
quantities usually leads to increased use
and the great danger of its becoming a
fixed habit. When that habit is acquired
the excessive use is sure to follow, with
the result that the natural forces which
resist disease are weakened, and chronic
alcoholism or poisoning follow. The sus-
ceptibility to disease is increased, its
severity is augmented, and its recovery
becomes SLOW and often the patient fails
to recover. Thus many lives are cut
short. More often, this is the bread win
ner, leaving the support of the family to
the weaker members, entailing poverty
with all it's sufferings and attendant evils
Not only does it produce these physical
weaknesses and sufferings, but often mem
tai arrangement follows whereby our in
sane asylums are filled. The moral sense
is weakened or lost altogether, and then
comes the criminal record. These persons
swell the members that crowd our re-
formatory. almshouse, and penal insti-
tutions."-[Dr. II. d. Holton of Brattle-
boro in Vermont Issue.
