8 Snake-Bites in
Philadelphia

PHILADELPHIA, March So
One of the ''surest cures" for
snake-bite is whisky; good. power
full, pre.war stuff, preferably rye.
Which may or may not have
something to do with the fact that
eight persons were bitten by
snakes in the central section OF
the city in one month last fall.
At least that was the amazing
discovery made by inquisitive pro-
hibition officials while they were
examining the whisky-permit stubs
in a book returned by DIR. George

below South.
Now the officials have DR..
Evans on the carpet. He admitted
that he merely took the patients
word for their snake-bites and
then wrote out the prescriptions.
