After dealing with the various specles, Dr. Herklots spoke of emergency treatment as follows:
(1) Apply a tourniquet imme- diately' above the wound, f.e. bo tween wound and heart, but don't leave on more than one hour for fear of gangrene. A piece of string and a pencil would Berve as a tourniquet.
(2) Make a deep incision Into wound with a sharp knife or razor blade.
(3) Reb in crystals of Potas alum permanganate; this is a strong oxidising agent and if it comes in contact with the venom will destroy it. These actions
must be carried out promptly.
(4) Hurry to the nearest hos pital or doctor.
