NEW CURE FOR SNAKES BITE.

mat BIZ YOU"
"Take a hair of the dog that bit
you," is an old saw that, as a sug-

out of the frying pan into the fire,
and it cannot certainly be recommend

times, when an antidote is more rec

and thanks also to the administration

1t has lately been reported that, on
the principle of the old adage men

point of penetration of the serpent's
