Virginia Snake Root.

The Virginia snake root takes its name from the fact that it is believed To be a valuable specific for the bite of almost, any reptile but the rattlesnake, and is deemed efficacious in eases of a bite from a mad dog. Experience has not justified its reputation in the last mentioned instance, but its value in snake bites has been too often tested to be doubted, and in almost every part of the South, where it grows, it is in high reputation.
