No Experiments on Horses, Mules or Asses._ “The experiments, of which this is a summary, were commenced in October, 1867, and have been continued as regularly since, at such intervals as time and other and more important avocations permitted.… The living creatures experimented on have been the ox, horse, goat, pig, dog, cat, civet, mongoose, rabbit, rat, fowls, kites, herons, fish, innocent snakes, poisonous snakes, lizards, frogs, toads, snails.”--“_Summary of Experiments on Snake Poison_,” by J. Fayrer, M.D., C.S.I., Med. Times, April 1st, 1871, p. 374. “After careful consideration, fully admitting that in permanganate of potash we have an agent which can chemically neutralize snake-poison, I do not see that more has been done than to draw attention to a local remedy already well known as a chemical antidote, the value of which depends on its efficient application to the contaminated part (which Dr. Wall has pointed out is too uncertain to be reliable). We are still, then, as far off an antidote as ever, and the remarks made by me in 1868 are as applicable now as they were then. They were as follows:--‘To conceive of an antidote, as that term is usually understood, we must imagine a substance so subtle as to follow, overtake, and neutralise the venom in the blood, and that shall have the power of counteracting or neutralising the poisonous or deadly influence it has exerted on the vital force. Such a substance has still to be found, nor does our experience of drugs give hopeful anticipations that we shall find it.’”--_Sir J. Fayrer_, “_Address to Medical Society of London_,” _British Medical Journal_, Feb. 2, 1884. =Fede, Francesco.= Prof. Naples University.
