ten months ago he brought back with
him a rattlesnake which is sixty-1our

ternptingly within a few feet of its head.
The snake made a lunge for it. missed
the rodent and nipped Ranich's right
index finger.
Ranich, who lives at No 50 First ave
nue.. went to Bellevue Hospital. where
DR.. Leroy Smith cauterized the wound
and sent him to the Rockefeller Institute
for further treatment When he arrived
at the institute the physicians there in
iected serum a point just below the
elbow and at the wrist.
Later the physicians opened the
wounds and injected permanganate of
potash This so weakened Ranich that
i. was decided to take him TO Bellevue
Hospital In reply to a question by DR..
Smith, Ranich said that he felt as
though he had been on a souse for
about three months" At the hospital
late last night it was said that although
Rarich's condition was serious the physi-
clans hold out an even chance for his
