I recommend injecting the solution under the skin, beneath the cupping- 

 glass, and disseminating it by friction about the wound. 



This recommendation is founded upon the result of over one hundred 

 experiments with the woorara, and about sixty with the rattlesnake, 

 made upon pigeons, dogs, cats, rabbits, and guinea-pigs. 



This treatment can be combined with the administration, internally, 

 of such remedies as may be thought most useful; and among these al- 

 cohol, in some form, taken freely is, in the present state of our know- 

 ledge, to be preferred.
