Australian and N.Z. Preos Association. CAPETOWN. Nov. II
; Mr. Fitzsimmons, the director of the famous Port Elizabeth snake park, lias perfected a vaccine from snake venoms, which he claims will be an infallible cure for epilepsy.
Its ofl'icacy is stated to have been proved by several doctors who worked on tho theory that an epileptic Canadian backwoodsman years ago recovered after being bitten by. a rattlesnake.
Mr. Fitzsiinmons analysed many varieties of venoms which exert pathological effects on the nervous vascular system. A local epileptic patient, has not suffered from a seizure since he was inoculated 21 months ago. Other cases throughout the country have been cured. It 13 claimed that tho vaccine exercised remarkable rejuvenating effects on their nerves, blood and muscles.
