ABSTRACT
IT remains a certainty then that snakes spew up a deadly poison, marked by its varied colours. The fiercer their vexation, the more harmful the venom they eject in their heat, 1 for 2 they are frigid by nature, and only strike if they are inflamed. When they are cold, they touch no one. Any person stung by a venomous serpent is first paralysed; then, as soon as the poison grows warm and flares up, the man is finished, unless someone should intervene with effective remedies.
