THE DEADLINESS OF A
RATTLESNAKES BITE

ATLANTA, Ga, Sept.-Is the bite
of rattlesnake necessarily fatal?
The foregoing question was asked
through chain of newspapers served
by an Atlanta correspondent. Among
the replies which have been received
is one from DR.. Jefferson Wilcox, OF
Willacoochee, Ga, a physician of So
years experience. DR.. Wilcox says
that the bite of the RATHER is fatal,
not only that, but death from snake
bit is one of the most horrible known
to the profession, second only to hy-
drophobia. The doctor has given
cases from his personal observation
and practice to prove beyond doubt
the horrible deaths resulting from
snake-bite. Following is his state
ment:
Il was called to see Jacob Vickers.
a son of John Vickers, who lives ten
miles north of Wallacoochie, Ga.
September IS, 1910 He had been
bitten by rattlesnake at 8 o'clock in
the afternoon, and died at 3 the next
morning. | had in consultation will,
me the late DR.. w. C. Ashley, OF
DELLA, Ga. In my So years as a prac-
ticing physician, | have seen many
persons die, and under many circum-
stances, and from almost everv
known cause, but | have never wit
messed a death as horrible as his. He
became human snake.
d. : Levi Guthrie, young man work
ing on the farm of John M. Lott, OF.
the eastern side of Coffee county. was

in less than 48 hours.

my friend, John ]. lowers, OF

while picking blackberries, was bitten
on the hand and died in commissions
IN less than two hours.

ping county, twelve miles from nv
home. to a child seven years old who
had been bitten on the foot. The
messenger came on horseback, there

and | returned on horseback with
him. Five or six hours had passed
before | reached the child. was too
late.
In year 1891, Rev. Jason Shirah.
OF the South Georgia M. E. Confer
ence, was my minister. His wife was
Miss Leigh, OF Folkston, Ga. She
had a brother twelve years old who
was bitten by snake. After her re-
turn from her little brothers. bedside
she related the whole tragedy to me.
Words cannot describe the suffering
of the boy before his death.

nothing, save perhaps your own un-
doing, and besides, | feel already that

If anyone who thinks the bite of

lew occasions and heard the victims
