RATTLESNAKE BITE Tl IS ALWAYS FATAL I , / Aged Georgia Physician Tells Of ? Number Of Cases That Have Come Under His Observation Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 25.?Is the , bite of a rattlesnake nec;s-:a\ly fatal? The foregoing question was asked F through a chain of newspapers serv- 1 t ed by an Atlanta correspondent. ' Among the replies which*have been J * received ^ one from Dr. Jefferson " Wilcox ,of Willacoochie, Ga., a phy- ^ sician of 38 years' experience. Dr. Wilcox says that the bite of the rat- s tier is fatal; not only that, but death ' from snakebite is one of the most F ? * horrible known to the profession, 0 second only to hydrophobia. The s doctor has given cases from his per- c sonal observation and practice to * prove beyond doubt the -horrible * deaths resulting from snakebites. s Following is his statement: 13 "I was called to see Jacob Vickers a son of John Vickers, T/ho lives ten miles north of Willacoochie, Ga., 0 September 3, 1910. He had been bitten by a rattlesnake at 3 o'clock in / the afternoon and died at 3 the , 3 t f next morning. I had in consultation |1 ./ with me the late Dr. W. C. Ashley, f0 of Ocilla, Ga. In my 38 years as aj practicing physician I have seen' many "persons die and under, many : * circumstances, and from almost jc every known cause, but I have nev-^" er witnessed af deatlf as horrible as his. He became a human snake. ' ? if "Levi Guthrie, a young man! working on the farm of John M. j Lott, on the eastern side of Coffee;' county, was bitten September 8, j 1886, and died in less, than /48;r hours. ' JE "Henry Paulk, a prominent far-, ? mer wh<t lived two mil^ east of j c Willacoochie, was bitten ift May; < 1S76, end d%d in less than 12 j ' Vinnrs. r "My friend, John J. Jowers, of Rushnell, Coffee county, *had a lit- c tie girl 10 years old, who in 1918,, I while picking blackberries, was bit- * v ? ten on the hand and died in convul- ( sions in less than two hours." "August 28, 1883,. one Sunday I ' was called to the" home of a man * named Taylor, who lived in Appling c county, 12 miles from my home, to, a child 7 years old, who had been j* bitten on the foot. The messenger came on horseback (there being no: * automobiles in those days), and II returned on horseback with him. |1 Five or six hours had passed before ; ( I reached the child. I was too late. "In the year 1891 Rev. Jason Shi-!1 rah, of the South Georgia M. E. f I conference was my minister. His1 * _ r 'i_ r -o_n i wile was a iviiss j-.eign, 01 rumsiuu, j. Ga. She had a brother 12 year-oldwho was bitten by a snake. After . her' return from her little brother's . ? bedside, she related the whole trage-; r dy to me. Words cannot describe the j # | \ suffering of the ~boy before his. t death. j "Mrs. J. B. O'Berry of this place,| who has been my friend ?nd neigh-1 bor for a quarter of a century, had j j a sister , Miss Gertrude Martin, of j: | J Fort Valley, Ga., on a visit to her | sister near Altamaha, Ga. Miss Mar- j tin, while picking blackberries on ; c May 31, 1886, in company with her! j sister and another woman was bit I g on th^ hai.d and died in six hours. ! x "When Miss Martin told her sis- j j ter, Mrs. O'Berry, that she had been; ? bitten by a snake, Mrs. O'Berry | j seized the hand and wanted to suck 11 the poison from the wound. Her^ t sister struggled loose and said: You must not. You are young yet, and \ perhaps you have a long life ahead.' c You have your husband and chil- j dren to live for. I have no ties like' a that to bind me to life. You could i accomplish nothing, save perhaps your own undoing, and, besides, I ^ feel already tha^Kam doomed." J "If anyone who thinks the bite of! a rattlesnake such a harmless mat- j ter could only have been with me on j ( a few occasions and heard the vic-j't ' tims shriek for water and say "Hell ? knows no agony worse than mine," I j and one of the victims said in reply j ^ to my question 'That?surely Dives, U when he was tormented in the r flames of hell, felt no anguish like 1 ^ mine," he would change his mind. ^ To mv knowlpdcp. thp nnlv other _ ? c,_, ?
