Curing Snake Bites,


Considerable difference of opinion ex-
lists with regard to trustworthy REM
edy for snake bites. DR.. Lauder Brun-
ton advocates the use of permanganate
of potash applied Immediately. Mr..
Greengrass of North Arcot district.
Madras. however, as the result of vari-
Gus experiments states that acetic acid,
even in the diluted form of vinegar, is
an important and effectual remedy,
and it can be applied effectually as
long as an hour or an hour and half
after the bite. Clses of recovery from
snake bites have followed the applica-
ton of vinegar after such intervals
An incisOn must be made over the
bite. as much of the poison as possible
squeezed out, and then vinegar is to
be injected. If the bite is ON Il limb. q
ligature must be placed above it. Mr.
Greengrass records twenty-nine cases
of recovery from cobra bites by such
use of vinegar. The one failure which
occurred was due to the fact that no
incision had been made over the bite.
y similar treatment is recommended
for tie stings of scorpions.
