MOONSHINING IN GEORGIA
DISTILLERS ARE MORE ENTER
PRISING THAN EVER.
Corn "Licker' Is Made as Freely in
the Mountains of North Georgia
as Before Prohibition Days.


ATLANTA.-In spite of the re-
newed and redoubled efforts Of the
revenue department to break up, or
at least check, moonshining in the
North Georgia mountains the bust
ness seems to grow and flourish
amazingly.
Revenue Agent J. H. Surber in his
report for December says that corn
Ticker" is made as freely and in as
great quantities apparently as ever
in the hills of the upper part of
the state. During December 1926
stills were destroyed in the territory
covered by his force-82 in Georgia,
"a in Alabama and 10. in Florida
North Georgia leads all other sec
tiULs.
Agent Surber says that the moon
sinners are becoming more relentless
and determined in spite of the de-
termined war made on them. Dur
lug December three informers were
mysteriously poisoned, and this ven
geance on those who inform is max
ing it correspondent harder for the
revenue men to get information from
the law-abiding people in the noun
tains.
Revenue Agent Whitmyer was shot
in a pitched battle with moOnshiners
on December 6, just across the North
Carolina line, and in many instances
the moonshiners have stubbornly re-
sisted the officers with arms.
For the month 50 arrests were
made, property worth $4,000 de-
stroyed and hundreds of gallons of
whiskey poured out. Agent Surber
says the work is constantly becoming
more dangerous for the men in the
field and all go heavily armed at all
times.

SNAKE VENOM FOR EPILEPSY
NOTED SURGEONS USING 1T IN
PRACTICE WITH SUCCESS.
Man in Texas Panhandle Bitten by
Rattlesnake and Entirely Cured
OF EpiIeptiC Fits.
OF EpiIeptiC Fits.


Down in the Texas Panhadle five
years ago a man was bitten by rat
tlesnake. The man was an epileptic.
He recovered from the poison OF the
snake-bite Two years passed and
during all that time there was no re-
currence of the epilepsy. Before the
chance meeting with crotalus horri-
dus on the Texas prairie he suffered
from epileptic spasms every two or
three days, writes A. St. George
Joyce. The strange coincidence be-
tween the bite of the rattlesnake and
the cure of the epilepsy was brought
20 the attention of Texas physician,
who made a statement of the case,
which finally reached the attention
of DR.. Thomas J, Mays and DR.. Ralph
H. Spangler of Philadelphia. Dr..
Spangler. chief of the medical clinic
of the Methodist Episcopal Hospital
of Philadelphia, had been expert
menting with rattlesnake venom in
the treatment of other diseases.
DR.. Spangler had several cases of
epilepsy under his care and, with the
Texas instance in mind, determin-
ed to try the effects of hypodermic
injections of a solution of the dried
venom of the rattlesnake. The reac-
ton varied with each individual, but
in each case there was the character
istic swelling, discoloration of the
arm-where the venom was inject
ed-and more or less severe pain. |
BY the third or fourth day the symp- |
toms disappeared and at the end of
a week a second injection was made,
at some distance from the first. Grad
ually, as with repeated treatments,
the local symptoms became less
marked, the strength of the dose was
increased.
The effect of the epilepsy was !
marked. Almost from the start the |
number of attacks decreased. The
treatment continued and at the end
of the year all of the patients were
apparently cured or at the worst |
greatly benefited. DR.. Spangler has
so far treated 10 patients and has
about 1000 injections
of the venom. Institutions for the
administration of the venom treat
ment are to be opened both in Ger
many and Philadelphia.
