Coal Oil Found
Efficient Remedy
For Snake Bites

Science discovered many things
by accident-the synthetic process
for making rubber, for instance,
But friend of Dean Swift of
so3 7th street northwest discov-
cred what he claims is a simple
and certain remedy for poisonous
snake bites-which also was found
by accident,
Mr.. Switf's interest was attracted
by a newspaper article stating
that scientists were at work on a
serum that was calculated to
counteract the subtle poisons
found in the fangs Of snakes. So
he wrote the following letter,
'I have just learned of q very
simple and effective remedy. Last
year a school child was bitten by
q copperhead in Oklahoma. AS
the teacher had nothing else but
coal oil, that was applied to the
bite and proved a quick and COM
plete cure. I also have a friend
whose dog was bitten by a cop
perhead and coal oil was applied
with the same result.
ut Is we'll known that coal oil
is a powerful germ destroyer, and
1t, therefore, seems only natural
that 1t should be an effective
remedy in destroying the germs
Of snake poison" .
