AS soon as ever one is bitten (for if the Poyson be diffus'd through the Mass of Blood, the Ex∣periment may not succeed) a hot Iron may be held as near the Wound as the Patient can possibly endure, till it has, as they speak, drawn out all the Poyson, which will some∣times adhere like a yellowish Spot to the surface of the Iron.
