Robert i. Ferguson son OF ex-Streer Commits

father in his twenty-frst year. His death was
caused by lockJaw, which was brought on by q
bad cold. DR.. D. A. Hengst attended this case,
and from him were learned the following particu-
lars: "Young Ferguson a week ago last Friday
complained OF feeling unwelL From his appear
ance then supposed that he had only a bad cold
saturday it was raining and cold, and instead Of
following my advice he went out, and Immediately
became worse. On Tuesday he was compelled %
take TO his bed with we'll developed case OF lock-
jaw. This is the only OF this disease result
ing from cause OF this kind that have met with
known any Of my professional friends to have such
q case. 1t Is not, however, without precedent. All
medical authority gives two kinds OF lOckJaw, the
sudden chill, which produces that peculiar cOndi-
ton Of the nervous system that results In lockjaw
II is also recognized fact that IN climate where
there are sudden variations OF temperature and
changes from sharp cold to moist cold weather.
lOckJaw Is OF much more frequent occurrence than
riabIy fatal but this did not at drst seem 70 be
hopeless case. II was IN fact rather mild attack
