Tie a cord tightly around the member bitten, so as to cut off the flow of blood toward the heart. The bleeding wound is then sucked out thoroughly to withdraw as much poisoned blood as possible, after which strong spirits of ammonia is applied. After a while the string is loosened a little to allow the remaining poison, if any, to be slowly absorbed into the system that no serious results are likely to follow.
