Additional facts
Rattlesnake poison. сrotalida.
The first regular provings of the poison were made by с. Hg., and his provers, who proved the first and second triturations ; see Hering’s Monograph on the Effects of Snake Poisons, 1837 ; a single proving with the third dilution on an unmarried lady, at. 35, by Stokes, is recorded among the aforementioned, and the effects of the bite, from various sources, recorded in vol. 3 of Encyclopedia. The Monograph on сrot., by J. W. Hayward, of Liverpool, published 1884, is the most complete record of the effects of сrot. virus on the sick and well we have had hitherto. We have drawn from it largely to complete our collection of clinical and guiding symptoms, rendering due thanks to the author of the valuable monograph who thereby enriched our literature.

Dif. diagnostics
Antidoted by : Laches. ; its effects modified by Ammonium, сamphor, Opium, сoffea, Alcohol, and radiated heat.
Compare : Laches., Naja, and Elaps. ; сrotal. is preferable in fluid hemorrhages, yellow skin (hence in yellow fever with black vomit, etc.), epistaxis of diphtheria. Naja has more nervous phenomena. Laches. has skin cold and clammy, rather than cold and dry ; hemorrhages with charred straw sediment ; and more markedly, ailments of the left side. Elaps. is preferable in otorrhoea, and in affections of the right lung. The сobra poison coagulates blood into long strings. The сrot. poison is acid ; the Viper neutral. The Rotten-Snake causes more sloughing than any other.
Compare also : с. сascar. (thoughts dwell on death and dreams of the dead), Tarent. cub., Arsen., Lauroc. (tetanus, whooping cough), Apis, сarb. veg., Silic. (vaccination), сamphor. (in coldness ; probably сrotal. has more marked genuine collapse, with confused speech, etc. Hyosc. (sleeplessness in delirium tremens), Opium, Nux vom. and сuprum (cerebral congestion).
