new REMEDY FOR
SNAKE Bite Is
NOW OFFERED
Not An Advertisement, But a Eoa1
Eide News Item Interesting To.
All Snakebitten Persons

West Palm Beach, Sept. 22.-An
antidote for the bite of poisonous
snakes, regarded as one of the most
successful treatments, is described by
C. C. Shooter, of Jacksonville, in a
letter to John b. Beach, of this city g.
The antidote is credited to DR.. Cal
mette, of the Pasteur Institute, of
France. and, according to Mr.. Shoot
en- is inexpensive, simple OF applica-
ton, and may be kept on hand easily
for emergencies.
The necessary articles are hypO-
dermic syringe, a fifteen grain capsule
of chloride of gold and six or eight
ounce bottle of distilled water. The
chloride of gold should cost about 50
cents.
The method of treatment is not
complicated. The chloride of gold is
dissolved in the distilled water, the
proportion usually being about six
ounces of water to the fifteen grains
of the chloride. The solution should
be tested with a common sewing
needle If it is too strong the needle
will be discolored. Sufficient water
should be added until the action of the
opioblpAi 10 iiOl otiOiAS0 CliOuSH " tttl
the needle.
The solution is injected with the
hypodermic as near the snake bite as
possible and ordinarily two or three
injections at intervals Of one hour
should be sufficient to counteract the
poison.
MIR. Shooter wrote that he had
made extensive experiments to test
the solution. In one case he injected
the solution into rabbit then exposed
the animal to the bite of rattle
snake. The bite had no effect upon
the rabbit, which Mr.. Shooter allowed
to be bitten once a day for three days
The animal then was turned loose APP
parently none the worse for its eX-
perience. Several dogs bitten by
snakes were treated with tine solution
after they had returned home badly
swollen. They We're out hunting again
within two or three hours.
Two negroes also were treated
One was in serious condition when
the solution was injected the first
time but was virtually we'll the next
morning, after having received three
injections altogether The other had

ton stopped the pain and swelling

S0UNDINGS FOR DEEP
WATER INLET STARTED
BY DREDGING COMPANY

Fort Lauderdaie, Sept. % Sound
ings for a deep water inlet and turn
ing basin at Las Olas Sound have been
started by engineers of the Seaboard
!redsing Company OF Jacksonville. 1t
is the first definite step by the city of
Fort Lauderdale for an inlet 400 feet
wide and with a possible depth of six
teen feet which would allow coastwise
vessels to tie up at the city docks
The project which includes construc-
ton of ietties, the dredging of por-
ton of New river and the cut of about
100 yards from the sea, would cost,
it is estimated. less than any other
recently constructed inlet on the east
coast Of Florida. Although accurate
figures are not yet available. ii is I'M
derstood the expense would not ex-
aeed 100000.
The cut is planned to be in exact
line with Now river as the heavy cur
rent OF the river would be relied upon
moving any sand or other obstruction
10 keep the channel and inlet open,
out to sea. City officials state that Il
bond issue TO cover the cost of the
enterprise will be decided upon after
exact figures from the engineers are
available. After completion of the in
let the federal government will be
asked to assist further the deep wa
