listen to what some of them have to
say about it:

who works over diphtheria day after

don't know whether you have it or
not until it shows up good and strong.

he Is on the road to case of hydro

The rabies specialist cannot see 1t
that way; he has his views on the
dangers of the tetanus worker.
Well. If you really want to see
where a man risks his life, go in there.

are doing, but lockjaw, well. that's the

tetanus bacilli is modest and refers
