DEADLY SNAKES MADE STUDY
soardsn 81 ssrpents," IN Brazil. ss
Maintained for the Production
81 0erums.

Braxil's "Garden Of Serpents" 10 one
az the most interesting. though to
some, repulsiye sights In the world,
and Is maintained purely for scientific
purposes. II 10 located At Butanta,
Brazil, and occupies In all some 700
acres. Here are ths laboratories which
produca serums for the cure and pre-
vention Of the effects Of snake bites.
The snakes used In preparing the
serums are kept In small park, con-
tanning numerous dome-shaped shell
tiers, which is surrounded BY wall
and a ditch filled with water. Other
specimens are kept in a similar park
near the main building, In order to
study their habits, favorite food, the
very diverse venomous properties OF
various species, and the best method
Of escaping their attacks. The hot and
moist forests of Brazil contain many
venomous serpents, but the slightest
noise alarms the peaceful and timid
reptiles, which attack only those per-
SONS and animals that tread on them
or destroy their lairs. The principal
families are the Bothrops and the Gro
tales, or rattIesnakes. The Bothrops
venom decomposes the blood and pro-
duces internal hernorrhage. with in
tense congestion of the liver. kidneys
and brain, while the venom Of the Gro
tales paralyzes the respiration, circu-
Iation and vision, and usually causes
death within twenty-four hours. Each
venom requires Its special antidote.
The laboratory heads prepare 3 serum
for each, and also polyvaient, or com
pound serum, which is effective against
all Brazilian snake venoms; for use
when the species Of the attacking
snake is unknown. The serums are OBJ
tained from young and sound horses
and asses, which receive. at intervals
of Eve or six days, injections Of venom,
increasing from one-twentieth MILL
gram to one gram. A years treatment
is required to produce perfect immun-
ity and an effective serum. The poly
valent serum IL obtained by injecting
the yenoms of Bothrops and Crotales
alternately. The animals thus immun-
lied furnish antivenom serum for
long time II they receive a fresh In
lection of venom after each extraction
of serum. Tubes Of serum. with hypo-
dermic syringes, are sent gratuitously
to hospitals. municipalities and poor
patients. Others are sold at low
prices or exchanged for live snakes
Serums for pest diphtheria and
tetanus also are produced By the
usual methods.
