( 4-87 _) 
pel his Sleepinefs, we forced into his Throat half & 
Drachm of Volatile Salt of Hartfhorn mixt in Broth $ 
which we ealily did, by reafon of his weaknefs. In a 
little time alter, his Eyes, which before looked dead, 
began to revive, and he was able to {land on his Feet and 
walk. Whereupon we repeated the fame Dofe of the 
Volatile Salt, by which he was freed from his Sleepinefs, 
and the Strength of his Heart recover’d j and notwith- 
(landing he remained weak for three Days* yet he fen.- 
fibly recover’d Strength, tho’ he would eat nothing all 
that time : But he drank Water very plentifully and 
greedily $ and on the fecond Day did not refufe cold 
Broth. After the third Day he began to eat folid Meats, 
and feemed now out of Danger $ only fome large foul 
Ulcers remain’d on that part of his Belly that was bit, 
of which lie would fcarce have died, had he not been 
killed by another Dog which prevented us from feeing 
the Event of this Experiment. 
But to try more fully the force of the above-menti- 
oned Poifon, it is neceflary to make.feveral Experiments 
of it: For tho’ the Bite of a Viper, if it be but flight, 
may kill fome Dogs $ yet in the Month following, a large 
tlrong Dog, that was bit in the Tongue, which is a 
very dangerous part, recover’d without any Medicines* 
His Tongue indeed turned black, and fwelled fo much, 
that it could fcarce be contained in his Mouth : He was 
(lupid, as is ufual from the Venome of a Viper, but not 
fo much but that he could (land on his Feet. A few 
Hours after, his. Sleepinefs decreafed $ and the next Day 
he endeavour’d to lap Water, but the hignefs of his 
Tongue prevented him. On the third Day he threatned 
to bite any body that diflurVd liim, and had recovered fo 
much Strength, as to be able to efcaps opt of the place 
where he was kept .2 . And two affcer,, Was kda in the
