able one TO Judge what antivenin he
should be treated with; or the snake
may be of a species too small to fur
nish enough venom for preparing a

The chief distinction between non
poisonous and poisonous snakes is the
presence in the latter of poison glands
and poison fang-teeth especially
adapted for injecting venom into the
tissues of the victim. The poison
glands, in venOmeps snakes, communi-
cate with the poison fangs, of which
there are generally two, through an
excretory duet which originates in the
former. The poison fangs are distin-
guished from ordinary maxillary
teeth by a longitudinal groove or
canal running along the axis of the
fangs on the frontal side. This canal
ends In a slitlike orifce on the frontal
side near he apex of the fangs. The
effect of a poisonous bite depends to
a considerable extent on the size and
position of the poison fangs, the ma
ture and amount of the venom and

ton extensive laboratories for expert
menting with and preparing antivenin
and museum In which the effects of
various venoms on human and animal
systems are shown in wax.
Snakes from all over South Amer.
lea are sent to DR.. Brazil. The rail-
roads carry them free of charge, and
as many as 5000 are received every
year. These, with the snakes bred
and raised on the farm, furnish the
venom without which the antivenin
could not be prepared.
1t is only within the last thirty
years that science has dissipated the
ignorance which for centuries baffled
those who sought an antidote for
snake poison. Even now there is
much left to be done, and not the least
valuable of the work Of the institute
Serum Therapique will be its labora-
tory research work IN relation to the
various kinds of venoms and their
antidotes.
1t was in 1886 that An analysis
made by DR.. Mitchell and his asso-
ciate, Reichert, showed that certain
chemical principles which ordinarily
sustain human life are so mingled in
snake venom as to cause death. These
principles were shown to be of pro-
ted nature, divided into three main
groups, globulins, venom peptone and
venom albumen, the last named being
without poisonous property.
Hideyo Noguchi, the famous Japan
csc bacteriologist who, In conjunction
with DR.. Flexner, produced a anti
venin at the Rockefeller Institute,
found two distinct sets of poisonous
principles IN snake venom, one acting
chiefly on the nervous system and the
other causing extensive local LESSONS.
The principle which has destructive
action on the nervous system and
plays the most important part in
causing death he called neurotoxin.
Venom neurotoxins reside in a group
of prOteins, which in physical and
chemical reactions fall under the class
of albumOses and peptOnes.
The chemical principles of proteins,
carbohydrates, albumens, phosphates
and chlorides which are thought of
principally as agents for building up
or maintaining healthy body become
when combined in snake venom hq-
uid fire which destroys the nerve and
blood cells, liver and kidney cells and
bacteria and muscle fibres. 1t also
destroys the bactericidal property of
normal blood, and eventually causes
secondary septicemic infection.
Despite the success in producing
antivenins, which immunized and
cured such small animals as rabbits
and guinea pigs, it was held that the
enormous quantity of antivenin neces-
sary to be injected to save a man
would render its clinical application
almost impracticable. This pessimis-
tic opinion, however, was jolted when
In 1S95-1S96 Calmette produced an
antivenin which rendered horses i'm
mune from cobra venom. Six months
were required for the serum to reach
a sufficient potency for therapeutic
purposes
In 1904 Lamb produced a highly
antitoxic, immune serum in horses by
the injection of pure cobra venom and
also produced a pure antivenin for
unmodifed daboia venom. The cobra
and daboia cause a large percentage
of the deaths from snake bite in India.

Extracting venom from Snake. The
Reptile Is Made TO Strike Into a
Glass Receptacle, Which Retains the
Venom
TN an effort to cut down an eco
monte loss amounting yearly to
millions in the loss of human
and animal lives from snake poison
ing in South America the State of
Sac Paulo, Brazil, has established
the most unique farm in the world,
the only one of its kind. 1t is a snake
farm
It's products are snakes, snake
venom and serum, or antivenin, to i'm
munize men and animals against the
deadly effects of snake venom or save
their lives when. not being immune,
they have been bitten.
Snakes are bred and collected for
their venom. The venom is extracted
from them and various animals are
inoculated with it. From these in
oculated animals is obtained a serum
or antivenin which is sent to ply
sicians and health authorities for use
in all parts of South America.
The production of an effective anti
venin in sufficient quantity to be of
practical value has been one of the
goals sought by science ever since
1886, when the late DR.. s. Weir Nit
chell, of Philadelphia, established the
chemical nature Of the fatal princi-
pies of snake venom, thereby over
throwing the previously held germ
theory. His discovery was soon fol-
lowed by the success of Calmette in
introducing cobra antivenin in the
preventive and therapeutic treatment
of snake bites.
In 1895 Calmette had advanced so
far in his experiments that he was
able 20 send antivenin to India,
Cochin China and Australia, but the
limited supply he could furnish was
not nearly sufficient. The average of
human deaths from snake bites III
India alone from 1880 20 1889 was
more than 10000 a year, and in the
same period more than 10000 cattle
fell victims to venOmous snakes In
1858, although 57S,435 poisonous
snakes were killed, 22,48O persons
were fatally bitten.
Lack of facilities for preparing
antivenin in the needful quantity has
made it impossible appreciably to de-
crease the death rate in India, the last
government report dealing with the
subject showing the loss of $4,000
human lives and a corresponding
number of cattle.
An antivenin for the poison of the
dreaded fer de lance. known in Bra
I'll as jararacuSSu, was prepared IN
Brazil In 1908, but, as in the case of
Calmette S antivenin in India, the
supply was so small that the decrease
in the death rate from snake bites was
hardly discernible. In 1912 $500 per
sons were killed and 1920 manned
or disfgured in the State of Sac Paulo
by venomous snakes. Thousands of
heads Of valuable livestock were
billed or disabled.
Convinced that the only thing need
full to save a large percentage Of these
human and animal lives was a suffi-
cient supply of antivenin. the Gov
eminent of Sac Paulo established the
snake farm or, as it is officially
known, Institute Serum-Therapique,
placing at It's head DR. Vital Brazil.
In addition TO the snake farm proper

he was kind and considerate and
all that could be desired as
husband and father.
As citizen Mr.. Roster was
