Pulished in The Waukegan Gazette on October 22, 1881.
    A little son of Abraham May, of Miller Township, Blair County, Pa. was bitten by a copperhead snake a few days since. After biting, the reptile kept fastening and coiling around the lad’s legs, and it was only torn from its coil by the brave little brother of the boy, who, seizing it with his hands, released the sufferer and killed the snake. The boy’s leg greatly swollen, though the free flow of blood from the wound perhaps washed away much of the virus of the copperhead. The usual home remedies were employed, and at last accounts the lad was in a fair way of recovery.
