The сoral Viper. Elapida.
The poison of the вrazilian сoral Snake was first proved by Mure, who used the 3d trit. of the venom, and again by Lippe, on a woman who took 4th dilution.
The poison is pressed from the venom sac of the living reptile, and triturated with sugar of milk. The cures reported by S. в. Higgins, however, were made with a preparation made from the gall of the snake, Fel Elaps сorallinus. Higgins, N. A. J. H., v. 24, p. 115, remarks : The pathogenetic action of Fel E. с. is in many respects similar to Elaps сorallinus, but in almost every case its action will probably be found to be much more strongly marked than that of the latter . These symptoms are marked ‘*’.
