lecture out and II was his purpose 10
read IL from manuscript. But In an evil
hour he concluded that II would be a
good thing 10 preface II with something
rather handsome. poetical, and beautiful,
that he could get OF by heart and deliver

CARpoLIc ACID FOR LOCKJAw.
Used rs n Cure I'm Europe-DiscoVery
Made fir 1897.

NEW YORK, July 25.-IIere Is new
cure for lockjaw. European medical Jour
nails have told OF It. but 1t was not until
yesterday that definite news about It was
obtained here.
Treatment OF tetanus. or lockjaw, by
infections Of carboic acid solution, las
been remarkably successful in Italy
said Dr. Antonio Fanoni. of No. &C. west
Tenth street. II thank DE- George l..
Freeman, whose letter has Just been
published, for giving credit where IL -
due; yet no seems TO question the results
claimed for the treatment. I am happy
to be able TO give him the facts.
"Carbolic acid IS cure for tetanus,
because II is anti-thermic, anti-toXic, ana
anti-spasmodic; that IS, il keeps off the
fever. neutralizes the poison, and pre-
vents the spasms of tetanus. II is ad-
ministered by hypodermic injection in a
solution OF from 2 TO 3 per cent, in dis
titled water The doses are from 3 to !
centigrammes of the solution daily. They
have gone as high as 30 centigrammes in
ono day without any sign Of carbolic acid
poisoning.
Professor Bacelli director Of the Royal
Medical Clinic Of the University of Rome,
first discovered the merits Of carbolic acid
as a tetanus cure in 1897. Since then il
the profession in Italy, Germany. France,
and Russia.
statistics show that Bacellrs discov-
cry is infinitely superior to the anti-toxn
treatment of either TiZZoni or Behring.
l have at hand reports showing that up
to last March thirty-one patients have
been treated with Bacellfs method, only
one Of which died. OF forty patients
treated with Tizzoni eight died. OF eleven
patients treated with Behring's anti-tOxin
four died OF nine patients dn another
country treated with Behring's anti
toxin two died.
"All OF these methods are far superior
to old-fashioned treatment, under which
seventy out of every 100 patients died.
II would strongly advise the use OF
carbolic acid for other reasons than It's
efficacy II is cheap and so within reach
OF all sufferers, and il takes only a Few
moments to prepare the solution. where
as anti-tetanic serum IS expensive and
is not always 20 be obtained unless one
lives in "a large city. Even then II is not
to be found in stock I'm every drugstore.
All these serums for tetanus. diphtheria,
tuberculosis. etc, lose their strength
when they are kept long. l have known
cases in which they deteriOrated In five
months some I'm three months.
Il have experimental for two years
with anti-pneumonic serum. In such cases
the use OF old serum is not successful. 1
