TO PREVENT LOCKJAW

Des Moines, July 1.-The state board
of health. in the current issue Of the
Iowa Health Bulletin, sounds the fol-
lowing Fourth Of july warning:
Local boards Of health should re-
quest that at least one druggist In
their respective towns should have on
hand a supply OF antitetanic serum for
the saving Of life from Fourth of July
injuries.
The journal OF the American Medical
Association in June. 1910. gave the fol-
lowing simple rules to be followed in
the treatment of every blank cartridge
or puncture wound:
First-Inject simultaneously $500
units Of antitetanic serum and continue
the injections If Indications Of possible
tetanus arise.
Second-Freely incise every wound.
Enthusiastically and thoroughly re-
move from the wound every particle OF
foreign matter.
Fourth-Cauterize the wound thor
oughly with Is per cent solution Of
pnenol (carbolic acid) in glyverfn or
alcohol.
Fifth-Apply a loose. wet boric acid
pack.
Evening times-Republican. [volume] (Marshalltown, Iowa) 1890-1923, 1911-07-01

Sixth-In no case should the wound
be closed. 1t should be allowed to heal
by granulatton. The dressing and
packing should be removed every day,
and fresh dressings applied.
Recent results go to show that the
simultaneous injection Of an immun-
izing dose OF tetanus antitoxin Is
sure method Of preventing the disease.
In all cases where garden dirt, stable
dust, manure. paper wads, or powder
from cartridges have been ground or
forced into the injured tissues. pre-
tentative dose OF tetanus antitoxin
should be given simultaneously at the
time the wound is dressed, or as soon
after as is possible This Is especially
recommended after Fourth Of July in
juries.
Particular and insistent recommend
alton is made to every health officer to
act now and secure a supply OF te-
tanus antitoxin-if not already sup
plied-before the period Of Fourth OF
July accidents, which so imperatively
require the preventative use OF this
antitoxfn. Be sure that the remedy is
at hand end employ every means to
urge this prophylatic Of tetanus in

ferret business will cease in evry coun-
~ in Iowa. At the time of the hearing
before legislative committee on this
bill statistics were shown as to the
number of existing ferret contracts
ana that great many of these con-
tracts have some time yet to run. 1t
was argued that any law which under
takes to nullify these contracts and to
penalize those who are responsible for
them would not be upheld by the
courts; but the law was passed, and
unless the matter gets into court in
some way the ferret business will cease
this week and hereafter those who
eVade the assessors need have no fear
OF detection afterwards.
