 z sood rattlesnake story is always in order and makes fine reading but f,e subject of rattlesnakes also has a serious side to it. particularly fl che man in the story feels the rep file's faugs. his article isn't plt FEpny for it is the consideration or the TaftIesuake from serious point of view. The rattler is no more com mon in Arizona than in the greater mari of the continent where the area remains in a natural state and the zaakes have not been driven out D! the blow, but there is rather more s9anger here than elsewhere for the reason that the traveller is apt to encounter them long distance rom town or assistance of any sort. IL is a general belief that there IS ne ;aptidote for the bite of the ratt's- snake and all that can be done Is 10 prevent the poison gaining a wlue circulation in the blood and then stimulate the heart action by whisky or some other decoction or drug ol similar effect. Whether this be true or not The Republican gives no oplh- ion but it is willing to tell all It knows on the subject and that is that fbe Pasteur Vaccine Go. Ltd. or Cnl- cago makes an antivenomous serum which if claims is an antidOte for the bites ef rattlers and nearly all other yeaomous reptiles. Better still It IS "a remedy that can be carried by tray fejers in the mountains just as well a. by the druggists.
 Tbis information is brought to mo- lice by Adolph W. Lautz, secretary .s1g the territorial board Of equaliza- jtfon and is furnished by him for what if is worth. It is not printed as an advertisement for the manufacturers .Ehoush if it is what they claim TOT IL .she advertising is freely given Tor the 1ym,d ii may do the people and the lives it may save. Mr. Lautz mas from childhood cherished a firm res ,5Jution that he would never die from a rattlesnake bite if he could help IL and has always been interested in knowing the treatment fer such wounds. Recently he wrote to the Pasteur institute in Chicago and re- iraiyed in reply a circular describing sbe Anfi-Yenomous serum together with a letter from which the follow ing is taken:
 .sThjs has been used successfully in an parts of the world following bites of poisonous reptiles. It is furnished in inc dry form, which will keep IT, definitely and which is ready for use as soon as 10 c. c. of boiled or dis titled water has been added. The in- lection is made simultaneously with a hypodermic syringe, and if proper antiseptic precautions are used re- garding the seat of injection and syr- 5nge, the layman should have no diff ficulty in using it.

 ANTIvENoMous SERUM
 (Calmette.
 One of the most valuable additions 10 serotherapy is Antivenomous Sc rum which is the blood serum or horses that have been immunized against snake venom. If used early, say within four hours after the re- ception of the bite, it exerts spe- scific action against the venom Of all species of poisonous reptiles. Owing fO the rapid absorption of the poison, the Serum should be used at the ear Hest possible moment. For this req son, a few tubes of the remedy 3 should be kept in every locality z3lere poisonous snakes abound, and this is. quite possible as the Serum which We supply is in the dry form and will keep almost indefinitely. It contains no antiseptics or toxic sub stances and may therefore if neces- sary be administered in large doses without the least danger or incon- Nanipnpp fo the Oatipnt
 DIRECTIONS FOR USE
 Treatment of the Wound.-Immedi- ateIy after the injury, and while wait ing for the Serum, the bitten limb should be surrounded by a tightly aeIrawn bandage or handkerchief as ss.iose to the bite as possible and be- tween the trunk and the wound. The wound made by the fangs of snake must be freely washed and made to bleed. Then wash the wound thor oughly with fresh solution of Ch.or- ifie Of Lime. leo, in water previous iy boiled An ordinary antiseptic dressing can then be used. Avoid the use of alcohol or ammonia inter aally as they are injurious to the pa tfent and detrimental to the serum g, ,tFeatmenf Do not cauterize the wound with either hot iron or EhemicaIs-
 : Prepsrsns the soIution.-Sterilize .fhe end of the tube by passing fbnough a flame. Break off the end Hold the tube in a horizontal position and distribute the serum long the tHbe Boil the requisite quantity of water and allow it to get cold as the SeraR will not dissolve in hot water. Introduce say c. C. still holding the sBbe almost horizontally. This will Esoisten the Serum and cause the par fjeies to adhere to the tube, thereby exposing to the water as many parti- - 1es as possible so that the Serum eiH dissolve more rapidly In a few anoments hold the tube upright and add sufficient of the sterilized water to make 10 c. c. The mark on the tHbe approximately indicates this quantity The Serum will dissolve and the solution be slightly opales- cent his represents 10 c. C. Liquid Antivenomous Serum
 The liquid can also be made in graduate or other suitable receptacle thz; has previously been rendered sterile
 Dosape-The serum should be used at the earliest possible moment after the infiiction of the bite. It is used by hypodermic injection into the cellular tissue, preferably in the low f.~ abdominal ra0;on little fo fhQ
