A tnrlons fa»*t has oovered by French scientists, to wit, tlttft the venom ot serpents is not a product (teculiar to poisonous reptiles, kat it is an intensified condition of or­ dinary saliva. Further investigation •bowed that the saliva of human beings fa capable. In certain Instances, of con- •tltvtlog a vIndent poison. We all know that lliere are many well authen- tleatad cases on record of death result- from the bited of animals not •niiMrily considered venoinons--cats. tn loatance; and Instances hare been fcftown In which a bite from a human Wfog has been followed by death "from pofaonlng. Just as would have been the oaso with some venomous reptile, Vio- loijt agitation. It has been observed, •eon's to impart this fatal quality to kho saliva of man or animals, and^M, Pasteur has recently "cultivated" the poison of the human saliva to sncli a point as to de.velop the toxic symptoms of tlie terpenNpoisons in small birds. Kven in its noriual conditio^saliva is ••Id to be akin to poison, one of its /•motions being to destroy the roole- eillar life eT the substances eaten.
