The swelling of the hand and arm gradually increased, showing the particular livid and yellowish tint following the bites of poisonous snakes.

A blister was applied to the bitten finger, tincture of iodin used, and two ounces of whiskey given every two hours until inebriety was induced.

The pulse, which was very much reduced at first, gained gradually under the influence of stimulants; two grains of opium were given at night, the patient slept well, and on the next day complained only of numbness in the arm.

The swelling had extended as far as the shoulder-joint, and the blood, which was very fluid, was incessantly running from the wound.

Carbolic acid and cerate were applied to the arm, with stimulants internally.
