Arthritis Sufferer Takes Snake Venom Cure Hard Way A rattlesnake bit the hand that feeds him recently, but in the interest of "home" medical science. "Rattlesnake Bill" Smith, garage owner and small zoo keeper of Weedville, near Punxsutawney, took two doses of snakebite venom he said are designed to "cure or Mil" arthritis. Smith, who has been suffering from severe arthritis pains for 12 of his 70 years, read that doctors have been experimenting with diluted rattlesnake venom as a possible arthritis remedy. He decided, he told a Punxsutawney newspaperman, to do some experimenting of his own and allowed a four-foot long, black rattler to bite him twice on the hand.

"I don't know how long it will last," he said, "but the last three weeks of my life have been the happiest and freest of pain in more than 12 years." The drastic is not recommended for others by Smith or he American Medical Association. "Rattlesnake Bill" has caught over 1000 snakes during his years fhunting and trapping in the mountains. His zoo, which also con- ains squirrels, owls, raccoons, a ox, bobcat, and other native crea- ures, is open for inspection during he summer and displayed at the Slearfield Fair in the fall.
