The cure Of a case OF tetanus. or lockjaw.
by an anti-tOXin is OF very great inn
pOrtance to mankind. A Brooklyn boy who
had stepped on the proverbial rusty nail
was attacked by this hitherto incura bic
malady The surgeons injected into the
brain a serum which was intended TO de-
stroy the lockjaw germs. and i'm a short
time the distressing symptoms disappeared
There is every reason 20 hope for complete
recovery. Since we have robbed diphtheris
or most OF its terrors by the use OF an anti
toxin. and since IL has been shown that
lockjaw is also amenable 10 that treatment
we have the strongest reasons for believing
that eventually every serious germ disease
will come under similar mastery.
