[S.] 



The ligature of the limb was used after a 

 viper bite ; no absorption of venom took place, 

 but the leg became gangrenous, and was finally 

 amputated. A case in which the remedy was 

 probably worse than the disease. [3.]

This author treated a dog sujiposed to be mad 

 by allowing him to be bitten numerous times 

 by a viper. The dog died in four hours. The 

 author supposes that if the bites had been 

 fewer the dog would have been cured ; and 

 infers that the venom is a specific against 

 hydrophobic rage ! [S.] 

 Demeure. Journ. de la Soc. Gall, de Med. ho- 



moeopathique, V, No. 6, 397, Oct. 1854. 

 Gives the case of a person bitten by a viper. 

 The symptoms seem to have been of an unu- 

 sual nature. The cure is attributed to the 

 fact that some of the venom from the bite in 

 the thumb having been absorbed in homoeo- 

 pathic amount, the patient was thus pro- 

 tected from the effects of the remaining poi- 

 son. [S.]

Thinks that the effects of the venom of tlie 

 viper are due to the animal being enraged, 

 and that it acts on the nervous system, pro- 

 ducing a tendency to putrefaction. Advises 

 sudorifics, ammonia, and eau de Luce.
