5 Anotunei/m— (Serpent ia virus prewparatum) i. the pre¬
6 pared serpent-poison. On one occasion, I prepared it from
7 the virus of the Aspis Naja; another time I procured it from that
8 of Aspidoclonion, a sketch of.which may'be seen on Plate SI of
9 this volume; from whichever obtained, there appeared to me but
10 little difference in the effects produced. I prepared it as follows
11 —the man who brought the serpents to me, having wrapped his
12 hand in a cloth, took them by the back of the neck, and, with a
13 small stick, forced open the mouth, when by means of a pair
14 of forceps, I held a small lump of sugar under the tooth, above
15 which is the bladder containing the poison, and, on hia pressing
16 the bladder with the stick, a drop of limpid fluid fell through
17 the tubular tooth on to the sugar, which I instantly deposited in
18 a porcelain mortar, moistening it with a few drops of spirit, and
19 commenced trituration ; I then put the powder into a antad
20 phial containing one drachm of proof-spirit, shaking them to¬
21 gether—when it was fit for use. I kept it. in a box, secluded
22 from light; and before administering it, shook it well up; one
23 drop constituted a dose.
