of the Bite of the Rattle-Snake has been con- 
firmed in feveral inftances in this Country, and 
that Hogs lard is effe&tual. .1t is probable by 
confequence that all oyly things are. It has been 
long obferv'd in this Country, that Hogs are ne- 
. ver hurt by the Rattle-Snake or other Viper, tho' 
all our other Cattle at fome time or other have 
been. I attribute this to the natural defence 
which Hogs have from their fat, through whith 
the theeth of the Viper can not penetrate withouc 
giving the remedy at the fame time it infufes the 
poyfon. We chiefly truft to the repeated appli- 
cation of warm Oyl or Lard to the wounded part. 
You know how dangerous it is to truft to one or 
two experiments, unlefs they be perform'd with 
all requifite precaution. But I can affure you, 
that [ would rather truff in this cafe to Osl or 
Hogs-Lard , than to the famous Polygala , or any 
other Medicine that I have heard of. 2
