Forest Service Gives Few Rules as First Aid Treatment for Rattlesnalce Bitet

The common dread of all snakes and tfue fear of being bitten by a rattlesnake has spoiled many a h"ppy vacation in the foothill and mountain regions of California, according to officers of the United States Forest Service. Rattlesnake bites are painful, they say, but only a small percentage are fatal-provided one knows what to do in the way of first aid treatment, or until the services of a physician can be secured.

Here are a few rules for emergency treatment of rattlesnake bites, given by entomologists and physicians who are authorized on the subject, which the forest rangers say are well worth remembering.

1. Keep'cool. Don't run or get overheated.

2. Apply a tourniquet (rubber garter, rubber tubing or band, handker,chief, cord, shoestring) a few inches above the wound and between the wound and the heart. Bind the limb tight enough to hinder cir'culation in the veins, but not tight enough to shut off arterial flow. Loosen the tourniquet every 15 or 20 rhinutes for one to three minutes.

3. Open the fang punctures by cross-cuts /s-inch deep and rfi-inch or more long, made with a sharp sterile knife or safety razor blade. Do not slash indiscriminately or too deeply, especially on hand, foot, wrist, or ankle, as serious damage to tendons may result.

4. Suck the wound, by mouth if necessary, but be sure the mouth is free from wounds or abrasions. If suction bulb is available, apply mechanical suction f.or 20 minutes out of each hour. /-

L .'ff. anti-venomous serum is at hand, administer at once according to directions. This countera'cts the venom which may have reached the blood stream.

6. Keep the patient quiet. In the case of weak heart action and fainting give stimulants such as strong black coffee, aromatic spirits of ammonia, or strychnine. Don't give whiskey or other alcoholic drink.

7. Don't depend on snake bite "cures" or home remedies. Potassium permanganate is of no value as an antidote and may injure the tissues. Don't cauterize the site of the bite with strong acids or the like.

8. Get the patient to a physician as soon as possible.
