Mrs. S. d. Engle had the misfortune
to step on fork while gathering eggs
in the stable one day recently. The
fork had been careleSsly thrown down
in the hay by the colored boy and
Mrs. Engle did not see it. The
D-ongS pierced her ankle to the bone
and her physician gave her medical
attention. Thinking it would give AZ
no more trouble, Mrs. Engle went
about her household duties, but ne!
foot began swelling and panied her
severely and there was every indica~
ton of tetanus poisoning. Tetanus
antitoxin was promptly administered
and she improved rapidly, and al
though the wound is still painful. she
is now out of danger.
