PRoPHYLAxis OF FouRTH-oF-
JULY TETANuS.

We have every reason to hope that
the annual crop of tetanus cases will
not be so large after this Fourth of
July celebration as in previous years,
for the sane Fourth movement
seems to show healthy growth, and
tetanus occurs only in those places
that still tolerate an insane Fourth
In 1909 there were reported 1,225
blank-cartridge wounds with $50 cases
of tetanus, while in 1910, largely as a
result of improved control of celebra-
ton by municipalities, only $50 blank
cartridge wounds were inflicted
mere trifle-causing but seventy-two
cases of tetanus, of which about six
ty-seven We're fatal. Even though
this great improvement has taken
place, we are still of the opinion that
such comfort, JOY and patriotic fervor
as may be yielded by TIE primitive
custom of celeoc,-.ag independence e
Day by explosives, is not worth The
131 lives and a,7a2 injuries of greater
OF less severity which it cost last
year. Enough others seem to be OF
the same opinion to assure a decreas-
ed expenditure of life, blood and cuti-
Gle for the 1911 celebration, but not
enough to reduce this to zero.
1t Is still necessary to impress on
practicing physicians the fact that,
/ however many accidents may occur,
the loss of life from tetanus is almost
entirely preventable, says the Ameri-
can Medical journel. Sixty-seven
deaths from tetanus last year means
that at least sixty-five lives might
have been saved by prompt injection
of antitoxin Immediately after the
wound was received Undoubtedly in
many cases this failure was caused by
the neglect of the patient or his par
ents; but not a few failures. We regret
+. to say, rest on the shoulders of the at
tending physician. Surely, Ter all
the years in which the danger of teta-
nus from blank cartridge wounds and
! the efficiency of tetanus antitoxin as
! a prophylactic have been heralded iii
/ the medical press, there is no reason
! able excuse for such neglect. II
should be remembered that the per.
/ centage of deaths from blank car.
4 fridge wounds received in last years
celebration was greater than from bull
let wounds, only 1912 per cent of the
latter causing death, while 12.7 per
4 cent of the blank cartridge wounds
were fatal. The experience Of each
year, as to both Fourth of July injur
les and ordinary traumas, strengthens
the standing of tetanus antitoxin as a
4 prophylactic agent, especially when
given Immediately after the wound is
i received. We would particularly EN-.
phasize, however, that antitoxin is not
a substitute. but an accessory to thor.
4 ough surgical cleansing, and also that
the most thorough surgical care with.
out antitoXin is not proof against teta,
nus when blank cartridge wounds are
under consideration. 1t must be re
allied that the cleansing of these
4 wounds is major operation, which
can be performed only under complete
anesthesia. The few recorded cases
in which antitoxin has failed to pre-
vent tetanus after suspicious injuries
have usually occurred when a loca
infection has permitted the tetanu.

Bonaparte Record: 1t is said that
on the skunk river from Oakland
Mills to Augusta, twenty-five miles,
there were once seven grist mills. all
OF which are now gone, Considerable
grinding was done then entirely by
water power and the bran was thrown
into the river, being considered of
little value Farmers came from
a considerable distance bringing their
grists by OK team or sometimes on
horseback. Times have changed, now
they go by automobiles, but the dams
are being rebuilt. Isn't it too bad

The G. A. r. has Just closed it's an
I,ual reunion at Muscatine, says the
Cedar Rapids Gazette. The encamp-
ment was a very successful affair;
the attendance was reasonably large,
end there was everywhere evidence
that the veterans are still young in
spirit, and enough of them compare
lively young physically to insure the
holding of many more annual reunions.
There is renewed and increased talk
each year that the veterans will soon
be too few and too feble to hold re-
unions. But we believe there can be
reunions for many years. Many of the
veterans are less than seventy years
old. not few less than sixty-five
Some of them, and some of the older
ones, are good for ten to twenty years.
and some even longer. We can all
hope that twenty years hence the
Iowa department of the Grand Army
of the Republic will still be meeting
in annual encampment.
