A Cure For Snake Bite.

Many are the curious methods
adopted for curing snake bites. but
surely none can be more SO than way
Of which our Bhavagar correspondent
informs US. Two natives in a village
near that station were. he says. brought
back to life after being bitten by a
cobra.
The victims were seated on the
ground and there held. while from a
height of sixteen feet gallons of hot
water We're poured on their heads
Presently, according to the correspond
ent. the victims took a new lease of
life" and are as we'll as though they
had never been in the jaws of death at
ali.
The explanation to this "cure'' prob
ably is that the snake. as often hap
pens. bit IFS victims. but injected no
poison into them. Thus the men were
merely terrified and continued TO be
frightened until the pain caused by the
douche of hot water gave them some
thing else to think about.--Civil and
Military Gazette.
