One copperhead was bitten by another

In that instance, the snakes heart had

The belief that in times of danger or
alarm certain, or all, snakes swallow
their young to protect" them, later
disgorglng them when the danger is
Judged to be past. is so widespread and
so firmly ingralned that no one can
advance any argument against it and
really expect to be believed. The belief
is not peculiar to America; the Aus
tralians, and perhaps the people of
other countries, hold that idea firmly.
What appeared at first sight to be
an authentic instance OF garter snake
swallowing its young occurred last sum-
mer near Minneapolis. The incident
was described to DIR. Ditmars in
letter from Mr.. o. E. Tallman, of
Minneapolis. Out of literally thousands

Thousands of women who formerly were
miserable over a skin beladen with wrin.
kles, prominent hair on fece, blackheads
or oily skin now rave about a new beau
tifier, DIOXOGEN CREAM.
This remarkable preparation contains
live oxygen that has an unusual four fold
effect:
First, 1t penetrates into the mouths of the
pores, fOOsens fatty blackheads and curbs
their further formation.
Second, the oxygen tends to normalize
greasy. oily skin, without drying.
Third, 1t helps to fade out wrinkles SO
that. in many cases, no one ever sees
them. A little face powder then makes
the skin look lovely and smooth.
Fourth, hair on lips and face is lightened
naturally with oxygen.
DIOXOGEN CREAM has been tested and
approved by Good Housekeeping Bureau.

Mr. Tallman, sportsman who has

what he would have sworn was case
of a snake swallowing its young - and
then he investigated. With his permis-
sion the following is quoted from a
letter to DR. Ditmars:
Il was going along the edge of the
lake looking for some live frogs for
bait, when | saw an old and pretty
large garter snake with her young, and
saw this swallowing go on. | tell you,
it was real to me at first and would

1t has often been said that captured
poisonous snakes can and do kill them
selves by self-inf1icted bites. Recently
an African yellow cobra bit its cage
mate in the Reptile House. an Indian
cobra, and the latter died two weeks
later with evidences of poisoning
yet DR.. Ditmars does not believe that
snakes of the same species can poison
each other. These cobras, while of the
same genus, were of different species.
As evidence, DIR. Ditmars cites the
fact that he has often brought in bags
of rattlesnakes from field trips, and
found that they had bitten themselves
or each other many times. Scores of
times he has seen no0sed snakes bite
themselves, with no i'll effects Some
times one rattlesnake will bite another
and the bitten specimen dies. but au-
topsies have always revealed that the
fangs punctured vital spot and had
the same effect as if knife or a needle
