SNAKE BITES IN INDIA. 
CoNSUL-GENERAL ‘WILLIAM H. MicHAEL, of 
Calcutta, reports as follows concerning the an- 
nual deaths from snake bites in India and the 
official efforts being made to reduce this mor- 
tality: 
“The publication of my 
Consular and Trade Reports for Feb. 6, 
cerning an instrument called by the inventor 
‘snake-bite lancet,’ caused considerable interes 
in various quarters, not only in the 
States, but in other countries, as I had a re- 
quest from an ofhcial in Turkey to put him it 
communication with somebody in. India -wh« 
would furnish him with a lancet. 
“Snake bites occur frequently in India, 
report in 
an 
they are’generally inflicted by venomous snakes, | 
like the cobra. Last year there were reportec 
21.797 deaths from snake bites, and it is believed 
by well-informed persons that the deaths re- 
ported from this cause fall 50 per cent. below 
the actual number, The official report cover- 
ing thirty years averages about the number of 
deaths from snake poisoning annually as 
reported for 1906. The report says that ‘the 
returns are probably not very accurate.’ Re- 
wards are offered in most provinces in India 
for the destruction of snakes, but experience has 
shown that this measure does not have any 
appreciable effect on the mortality from snake 
bites, and the total amounts so paid are small. 
“The medical officers 
search laboratories in India are engaged in in- 
vestigating and testing the antivenomous sera 
and other curative agents which have been 

suggested, and a system of treatment of affected | 
persons by permanganate of 
by Sir Lauder Brunton, is being tried in som: 
provinces. The use of permanganate of potash 
is that employed in connection with the lancet

treatments is carried in the handle of the instru- 
ment and is always on hand in case of a bite, 
and the person bitten is prepared on the instant 
to cut open the part affected and to introduce 
the required amount of the potash.’

The shop itself, the place of business of Uncle Lisha 
Peggs, bootmaker and repairer, was a sort of sportsman’s 
exchange, where, as one of the fraternity expressed it, 
the hunters and fishermen of the widely scattered neigh- 
borhood used to meet of evenings and dull outdoor days, 
“to swap lies.”

It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and 
have been of sustained interest. The ‘‘Men
