INDIA SNAKE VICTIMS.
Decrease in Number of Deaths-Ex.
reriments With Treatments.

SSCICdSS III NuUipCT VI 1CStHS-GN-
reriments With Treatments.
According to the snake" statistics
for 1907 the total, mortality among
Eum2n beings caused by snake bite
fell from 22,S11 in 1906 to 21,41S IN
1907. So low a figure has not been
reached since 1897.
The decrease is noticeable mainly
in Bengal and Eastern Bengal and
Assam, where the figures fell from
s,S62 to $3.50 in 1906 to S,276 and
1890 respectively in 1907. The most
important increases occurred in
Madras and Burma, where the figures
rose from 1927 and 1,149 in 1906 to
1877 and 1,34S respectively. TIE de-
crease in Eastern Bengal and Assam
is attributed to the floods having
been lower. The Central Provinces
figure 1856 is the lowest returned in
any one of the last seven years.
The Lauder-Brunton treatment OF
snake bite by incision and application
of permanganate of potash and the
distribution of lancets continues. 1t
is too early yet to pronounce with any
certainty as to the result of the ex-
periments, but number of favorable
reports have been received. Eight
cases are reported from the United
Provinces of the successful use OF DR..
Calmette's anti-venene. In two OF
these cases the permanganate of pot
ash treatment was also employed.
