In the most highly developed pois-
onous snakes the fang is a hypo-
dermic needle, with a canal running
from base to tip. But in other pois-
onous snakes not so highly devel-
oped the poison passes along the
groove which runs throughout the
entire front surface of the tooth.
The hypodermic fang is product
of evolution, whose workings we
may in this case see. In the least
poisonous snakes it is a simple little
groove. AS the snakes grow more
poisonous, the edges of this groove
turn over toward each other; in the
last stage the edges close. forming
the tube-just as you take a piece of
paper and gradually form it into a
cylinder.
When a snake bites it Is not a
simple movement such as the human
jaw makes in eating. 1t Is zone Of
the most beautiful examples of mus
cular coordination known to sci
ence." The fang is a weapon. It's
base is jointed. Behind it is the
gland that secretes the poison, rum
ming behind the eye. The base of
the gland does not enter the basal
opening of tooth groove or canal.
There is sheath between. The in
oculation of the venom is effected
by means of a complicated motion
of various muscles which open the
jaw. erect the fang on it's joint.
compress the poison gland, shoot out
the poison, fasten the lower jaw on
its prey and then withdraw the fang.
If any of these motions fail to be CO.
ordinate or harmonious, the bite is
not success.
Man could be a poisonous snake
If ne wished. That is, it is conceiv-
able he could develop an equipment
like the RATHER, for instance. The
poison gland of the reptile started
out in some remote ancestor from
the same parent gland that produced
the parotid gland in the mouth of
man and the corresponding gland at
the side of the birds mouth. In the
non-venemous snakes, infusions made
from their parotid gland have had
the same effect upon victims as the
poison in the venom gland.
If you pull out a snakes fangs
they grow right in again Reserve
fangs are always stored away, be-
hind the acting tooth. When brok-
en- or lost they are there to take its
place. The supply is indefinite,
seed fangs always being in process
of formation. This is where the
snakes move up one
on the bee. which, when
it loses its sting, loses it
forever. mopes away and
dies. The snake can
never take the count 50
long as 1t is alive.

In one case the patient was af-

Crotaln reduces the fever of tu-
berculosis, says DR.. Mays. How this
is brought about, he says. is another
question. 1t does not produce that
abrupt depression of temperature
which is characteristic of quinine,
acetanilid, phenacetine and similar
drugs.
That crotalin exerts it's healing &C

confirmed by it's beneficial effect in
asthma. This disease is, as a rule,

that centre. Dr. Mays vouches for
the fact that according to his OBJ
servations there are few cases of
asthma which may not be promptly
controlled by rattler poison. More
over,p he argues. the favorable ac-
ton also paves the way for suspect
ing that it has an alternating con-
troll III epilepsy. For both asthma
and epilepsy are convulsive disorders
the one in the respiratory, the
other in the general muscular APP
paratus." This suspicion he has con-
firmed by a number of experiments.

and wide applicability of crotalin,"
DR.. Mays concludes, there can be
no doubt, and feeling very confident
