Abstract A composition effective against the symptoms of venom, such as convulsions and throat blockage, suffered by a victim of a venomous creature, which composition comprises an ethyl alcohol infusion of previously dried herbs and iron filings, said alcohol infusion being a supernatant decanted from an infusion of from 28 to 31 liters of an ethyl alcohol and water solution containing at least 55% ethyl alcohol; from 130 to 300 grams of red cinchona; from 130 to 300 grams of curcuma root; from 60 to 100 grams of aloe; from 80 to 200 grams of saffron; from 80 to 200 grams of white agaric; from 80 to 200 grams of nutmeg; from 250 to 400 grams manna; from 150 to 330 grams of gencian; from 70 to 170 grams of orange blossom; from 80 to 200 grams of rhubarb; from 450 to 650 grams of cinnamon; and from 2,800 to 3,500 grams of iron filings. The composition is prepared by mixing together the dried herbs and iron filings; submerging the mixture in from 28 to 31 liters of the ethyl alcohol solution; allowing the submerged mixture to stand for a period of time sufficient to form the infusion, preferably about 15 days; and decanting the supernatant from said mixture. The symptoms of venom may be effectively treated by orally administering to the victim a dosage unit consisting of one-half glass of water into which is mixed one spoonful of the composition.
