The text traces the evolution of ideas about venom’s action, discusses proposed antidotes, and describes tools and methods used in the study of poisonous snakes. It includes plates showing microscopic views of blood and glands, alongside appendices that recount broader experimental approaches and immunity experiments in animals.
