SUPPLEMENT: TARENTULA.

J. Heber Smith, M.D., New England Med.
Gaz., New Ser., vol. i, 1879, p. 139. The tarentula by which Dr. Sherman
was poisoned, came through the mail, and decomposition had undoubtedly
commenced at the time the virus was imbibed into the system, and hence
the symptoms in his case were such as might come from the scalpel or any
other kind of animal poisoning, and therefore the symptoms reported
cannot be reliable. (See authority, No. 16, in Vol. IX, of the
