IMMEDIATE TREATMENT.

To the Editor of the

"

Indian Medical Gazette

SiB,?I find that Waring, quoting some remarks by Dr. Fayrer on the treatment of persons bitten by venomous snakes> states in his Bazaar Medicines, Appendix B., " Suction of the wounds is likely to be beneficial, but as it may be dangerous to the operator, it cannot be recommended as a duty." Yours

faithfully, J. C. H. Peacocke, Surgeon, I. M. D.
