But scientists have gone beyond this. Medical investigators have put venoms to work for man. Regarded as poisons, in minute doses various venoms actually constitute valuable medicinal agents. Cobra venom is used to alleviate pain, replacing opium in serious cases, and it has the distinct advan* tage of being non-habit forming. Rattlesnake venom has been employed with success in the treatment of epileptic seizures. Moccasin venom is employed therapeutically to promote coagulation of the blood, thereby stopping hemorrhage. Vipor venom is useful in the treatment of hemophilia, the inherited disease which permits profuse bleeding from very minor wounds.
