The popular BELIEF that wound
from tre3ding on rusty nail Is very
inely to cause tetanus Is quite correct
This is not because it is a nail or is
id. ty. but because by lying on the

no germs OF lOckjaw. Moreover as

dries up and excludes the air, the most
favorable conditions for the develop

Here the health and happiness of

sincerely trust their welded lives
will ever be filled with sunshine of
happiness and prosperity.
