The floods in 1910 are accredited as having driven the snakes to seek refuge in the raised village sites of East Bengal and Assam, where the mortality from snake bites increased. A considerable number of cases were treated in the last-mentioned provinces and the United Provinces with the Burton lancet and permanganate of potash, and it is recorded that a high proportion of the patients recovered. The great difficulty of proving that the cases successfully treated with the lancet were bites by really poisonous snakes unfortu- nately throws some doubt on the reliability of this treatment.
