Snake Venom Cures Epilepsy
Texas Reptiles Furnish Sequence to Years of Experiment for
Relief of Dread Malady
Follow Ing closely upon the announce
ment of tho discovery of a euro for
tiilterculosl comes the information that
I ho vononi of tlio rattlosnako has a
destiny to fulfill ns a euro for epilepsy.
Tho discovery of this uso for a deadly
poison in credited to Dr. Ilnlph II.
Spongier, whose experiments seem to
have proven tho benefit or. tno venom
tn these eases. The story of this dls
cox en is told by A. Bt, George Joyco
nt the Technical World Magaslnc, and
presents an Interesting phase of tho ef
forts of science to combat this dread
disease.
The explanation of its action is not
entirely given, but so far as known it
acts ttpon tho blood In such n way as
tn lengthen tho period of coagulation.
Mood clotting has been known n tho
rnnse of fits, and the discovery of n
successful remedy for this condition is
n itself of wonderful valuo. Accord
ing to the story Dr. Spnnglcr has sue
ceded in his experiments In increasing
tlie tune from two and ono-hnlf nnd
three minutes to between fi-o and slv,
the normal period for coagulation be
mg seven minutes. So far Dr. Spongier
has made about 3000 injections In 110
patients, nnd considers that all of them
have been benefited. Cases are re
corded in which tho frequency of epi
leptie attacks has been materially re
dured One initanco is told of an
eleven year old school girl who had
taken injections of tho venom weekly
for seven months. At the beginning of
incut she was able to nttend school I
regularly and had suffered only three
minor ntlneks in several months. It '
is stated that In every enso treated "
there has resulted not only a decrease
or complete disappearance of tho at
tacks but a building up of mind nnd
bodv as well.
The discovery of tho effectiveness of
this xciiom came about through nccl
dent. iDr. Spnngler was experimenting
with tho suhtnneo In the treatment of
other diseases when ho heard of an nl
leged euro of n Texas epileptic after a
rattlesnake bite. Tho experiments he
gan and he noticed an appreciable ef
feet upon his patients, tho number of
attacks decreasing almost at once. Tho
venom Is secured from Texas rattlers
nt considerable danger to the collector.
The snakes nro usually selected when
torpid from heavy feeding, and a
leather laseo Is thrown about tho neck
While one man holds the thong another
pries the month open with a spoon or
small cup and the pressuro of tho fangs
in tho dine of tho cup forces tho venom
from tho sacs.
Scarcely less Important from n scien
tific standpoint is tho discovery by M
!isntul of a "cold light" which very
nearly approaches the long desired
light that the name implies. Science
has as vet been unable to produce
strong light directly from mechanical
power without employing heat, nnd tho
discovery of the new light is n step to
ward that most important cud. M.

Fighting With

(Continued from page one)
Intion of Mldhat rasha, and it found
favor but for a few years. Its author
became tho subject of" its opposcrs'
vengeance nnd died by tho hand of an
assassin in his prison cell in 1SS3.
Trior to this dato, when tho powers
were upon the point of stepping in, tho
constitution was revived and interven
tion staved off. Later the same thing
happened, the constitution proving an
effective remedy for nbuscs time after
tunc. Yet its period of existence was
always brief. Talk of the partition of
Turkey frequently was rif Bnt tho
powers found In Abd-ul-Hamid a clever
schemer. Oermany wanted a railroad
in this direction, England in that;
privilege was continually being sought
by the powers, each with her own pe
culiar purpose. ' Abd-ul-Hamid was al
ways ready and played one power
against another in such a way as to
baffle attempts at reconstruction of
the national policy.
In June, 100S, England and Russia
wcro about to stop in with a program
of reform in Macedonia which they
were prepared to enforco If necessary
wth arms. Thon the revolution of
Noting Turks took place and tho con
stitution of Mldhat Pasha was diten
tonitwM Again this forgotten instru
men served to stave off intcrvontirtn
ct t vrn soon again forgotten. In
JOH' a member of tho party of Union
and 1'rogree addressed Ins copatnots
and referred to this document. He re
ioid V.J them that the constitution gave
ual rights to Mussulman, Christians
and -1! citiseM, but further stated that
Fti li a guarantee was Impossible, "for '
f rt nt all llin luilv Imr it cxhumm! tn '
all our history, tho sentiment of
hundreds of thousands of true believ
its is opposed to it." Tho reafflrma
tion of the traditional policy of their
fathers had its effest', for the soldiers
were quick to sateh the spirit of this
address Tho massasres that followed
wero as terrible as many of tho forrnor
attacks uion Christians.
So with this seesawing back and
forth lietween the old regime and the
progressives, with a cry for education
on the ono band and a cry for its sup
pression on the other, it is not sur
prising that Turkey, upon attempting
to atom tho tide of wrath that mani
fested itself in the present upheaval,
should find hor bullets inoffeetlve
against the enemy. Should the war
drag on with the Young Turks in eon-1
trol, or should the old regime still play
for time in the hope that something
will turn up to save for Turkey tho
kev to he national integrity, Adrian
ople, the outcome, though perhaps do
layed, cannot but bo against the des
potism f a rare that has failed to
keep up with the paeo of civilization.
For Turkey is fighting with the wooden
bullets of her own molding.
tho light thus concentrated by means
of a lens. It is said an ordinary water
faucet will supply sufficient power to
operate tho light. If this is true two
purposes will bo served by tho new
light. Electricity will bo brought
within tho reach of many who cannot
now afford to uso it for lighting pur-1
poses, for the slmplo uso of water from
a faucet furnishes tho minimum of )
cheap power. In Its replacing of the
kerosene lamp in the rural districts it
will bo a boon to the farmer both from
the standpoint of cleanliness and
greator convenience. Kurthormoie, the
heat generated by a burning lamp,
which is no1 ineonsidcrnblo factor on a
hot summer evening, will bo done nway
with.
