April, was in the least concerned, and he was able to attend to the many and onerous duties of his profession until the evening of April 16 — the night before his death. He filled the chief government posts at Swan Hill, and within a few months of his arrival was appointed coroner, and also a justice of the peace for the colonies of Victoria and New South Wales. He was chairman of the magistrates' bench at Swan Hill for more than ten years.

April, cannot see that he there manages to show how ammonia changes the blood of a person poisoned by a snake from a deoxidized and diseased state to a normal state; but if it can be proved to do so, and further, to cure the sick from snake-poisoning, whether they are comatose or otherwise, within a few minutes, it must possess the virtues of an antidote. If the blood, arterial and venous, in snake poisoning, is physically and chemically altered, it is thin, poor, dark in color, deficient in oxygen, which it has ceased to absorb from the air and is plus snake venom , or if you please, "germinal matter from the serpent's glands," the sudden and inexplicable restoration of the health of the blood in this condition, accompanied by the immediate elimination of the poison, by the addition of a chemical agent, which is not an antidote , must seem more like a miracle than a sober scientific fact. Merely stimulating the action of the heart, when the vitality of the blood and the respiratory functions are failing, can certainly be of no avail.
Without any sense of disregard for the opinions of others, I think it is not only fair, but necessary, to demand a full explanation of the miraculous healings in some of the recorded cases, before accepting the proposition that ammonia is a cure for snake poisoning.
