Abstract
IN a previous article (NATURE. October 24, 1895, p. 621) the “Serum Treatment of Snake-bite” was briefly discussed by the writer of this note; and Calmette's and Fraser's researches are now so well known, that it is not necessary to give a summary of them. One or two points, however, must again be alluded to, because recently Dr. D. Cunningham, of Calcutta,1 has carried on some important experiments which throw fresh light on the matter, and which also supply answers to some of the questions raised by the writer in the above-mentioned article.
