6 Anguineum — ( Serpentis virus prceparatum) i. e ., the pre-
7 pared serpent-poison. On one occasion, I prepared it from
8 the virus of the Aspis Naja ; another time I procured it from that
9 of Aspidoclonion, a sketch of which may be seen on Plate 31 of
10 this volume; from whichever obtained, there appeared to me but
11 little difference in the effects produced. I prepared it as follows
12 — the man who brought the serpents to me, having wrapped his
13 hand in a cloth, took them by the back of the neck, and, with a
14 small stick, forced open the mouth, when by means of a pair
15 of forceps, I held a small lump of sugar under the tooth, above
16 which is the bladder containing the poison, and, on his pressing
17 the bladder with the stick, a drop of limpid fluid fell through
18 the tubular tooth on to the sugar, which I instantly deposited in
19 a porcelain mortar, moistening it with a few drops of spirit, and
20 commenced trituration ; I then put the powder into a small
21 phial containing one drachm of proof-spirit, shaking them to-
22 gether— when it was fit for use. I kept it in a box, secluded
23 from light ; and before administering it, shook it well up ; one
24 drop constituted a dose.
25 Anguin. (III.) Rumbling in the bowels.
26 Angustura — this bark is not in use among the natives of
