Show Eit by Snake, Man Finds Wife Is a Whiz With Cures ATLANTA, Ga. There's one thing that Charles A. London's doctor will agree with, his patient's wife did a lot for London when a rattlesnake bit him recently. While he recuperated at the hospital, hos-pital, his condition improving, Mrs. London explained that when he dragged himself to their farm home, bitten on the leg: "I first poured some rubbing alcohol on the bite. Then I dusted it with snuff. Then I turned up a bottle bot-tle of turpentine and poured that on. Then I gave him a glass of fresh cream with powdered alum to make him vomit. "Then I started frying eggs and putting them on the wound. As soon as one egg would get cold, I'd put another hot one on." London credited his wife with sav ing his life. The doctors were doubtful doubt-ful about that, but they smiled and nodded assent when he said: "She sure did a lot for me." |
