How to Cure Snake Bites.

For a sure cure for snake bite take
about seven drops of iodine, scarify
and battle the wound also with iodine,
says correspondent of the Topeka
Capital. This remedy was first used
by medical officer in British service
in India. 1t has cured both man and q
number of animals. 1t never fails. 1t
is really wonderful in its effects. One
instance will relate. \ young man
working for me in the harvest field was
bitten by very large rattlesnake on
one of his large toes. gave him about
seven drops of tincture of iodine on a
little sugar, and to make doubly sure
repeated the dose an hour later. His
foot swelled, but next morning he was
all right. l have had animals whose
bodies have swelled considerably, but
all have recoy cred from the bite.

1.-TWO months ago when sought
your advice, and you told r1e that !

Systemic catarrh claims many victims
because this disease is not always I'M
derstood, and therefore not correctly
treated.
WHAT'S needed is an internal catarrh
remedy which exerts healing effect
on the mucous membranes of the entire

such remedy is Peruns. The sim
