General intelligence with respect to the danger
of lockjaw from wounds caused by rusty metal,
especially in the feet or In the hands is rapidly
spreading and the public now understands that
the prompt application OF a suitable disinfeetane
will remove the peril of tetanus. In the wars OF
the earlier generations, before the Listerian
treatment of injuries was practised. great num-
bers of soldiers died from Iockjaw. Now the
mortality from that disease after a furious bat
tie has been lessened remarkably.
