The Joe Welsh one-piece leader 
comes in five sizes, from a silk-gut 
thread of 4 pounds capacity, to the' 
No. 1 size, guaranteed to stand a 
strain of 30 pounds. An eastern 
sportsman soaked a No. 2 size leader 
(15-lb. test) 48 hours, and applied a 
strain of 18 pounds without breaking 
it. Others write fish struck lures on 
this leader when refusing the same 
lures on ordinary leaders. It casts 
no reflected light. Its strength and 
invisibility were praised last season 
from Alaska to Florida. Thousands 
sold and not one complaint. Leader 
is unaffected by climate or salt water.

And be sure you understand your physi¬ 
cian’s instructions before you plunge into 
snake country. Write them down and read 
them over frequently, so that when the 
emergency arises you will act promptly, 
correctly, and intelligently. If you do this 
you can probably avoid mistakes which 
might be fully as dangerous to yourself, 
or whoever your patient happens to be, as 
the bite of the snake.
