EAST COAST HERoINES
Save Life of Man Bitten by Rat
tlesnake

The Miami Herald of last Thurs
day reports a thrilling incident IN
which the life of Rev. B. w. Soper,
rector of the church at Cocoanut
Grove, was saved by the prompt
action of two Miami ladies. BiSh-
.op Cameron Mann, who was an
eye witness of the occurrence,
thus reports it to the Miami Her
aid:
Grave deeds across the ocean
furnish a large part of our pres
ent-day news. They thrill our
hearts and command our applause.
But there are also brave deeds in
our own vicinity which equally de,
serve to be known and which must
arouse similar admiration. | wit,
messed one such last Tuesday af-
ternoon.
II was with the Rev. Mr.. Soper
when he was struck by the fangs
of large diamond-back rattle,
snake. Two young women from
Miami, Miss Mary Robertson and
Miss Frances Holstein, the latter
a trained nurse, also happened to
be present.
eve applied tourniquet to
Mr.. Soper's leg just above the bit
ten place and cut deep into the
flesh at that place. Miss Holstein
then said We must suck the
poison out. =" And those two girls
knelt down, and in turns, with
their lips, drew forth the enven-
omed blood, until satisfied that all
which could be thus removed was
gone.
"They knew the danger to
themselves and they reckoned not
of it. They were intent only upon
doing the best possible to save a
Hullldll lllt.
81 have never seen the needed
thing more promptly done. | have
never seen the perilous thing more
calmly and bravely done.
IL deem it my duty and my
privilege to tell, an inspiration for
others to hear, what | saw"
The bishop and others may be
surprised to know that, if the
young ladies had swallowed the
poison, it would not have hurt
them. Ask any well informed
doctor. To be fatal, it is necessa-
ry that the poison be injected di-
rectly into the blood. If taken
into the stomach by swallowing, it
is harmless. This ought to be
generally known. But, as the
Miami ladies did not know it and
believed that they were risking
their lives, they deserve credit for
heroism and ought each to have
Carnegie medal.
What they did is absolutely the
only cure for the bite of a Florida
diamond-back rattler that is in
good health and has his poison
cells well filed Neither perman-
ganate of potash nor any other
medicinal remedy will avail to
save the life of any one bitten by
a rattlesnake that is supplied with
its usual amount Of venom. Some
times, the snake, from some cause
or other, is without a normal sup
ply, in which case the victim may
