Influence Of a good example is. un-
fortunately, only equalled by the in
huence Of a bad example. Germany,
without adequate reason. violates the
territory and peaceful and innocent
Belgium. In doing so she advances
the proposition hat a state is un-
moral: an6 that rules which eovern
personal conduct do not apply to
state which desires to expand at the
expense of its neighbors.
Like all the peoples of the world
who are truly progressive, in the re-
spect that the aggregate of the pub
lie conscience sets a standard for the
individual this is to us a detestable
doctrine. The state has power to
nunish. and the conception of the law
above the individual not imbued with
the highest morality is devilish.
But Germany set the example; and
its consequences are plainly seen. ia

FOURTH OF JULY WOUNDS

The particular danger Of Fourth OF
July wounds is tetanus Qock-jaw).
Wounds from blank cartridge pistols
toy cannons, fire-crackers and other
noise-making devices are not uncom-
monty followed by this frightful and
fatal affection.
But tetanus can be avoided Most
every case is chargeable to neglect of
the necessary precautions; especially
is this true of cases following wounds
which have been looked upon as triv-
ial
All Fourth of July wounds, no mat
ter how slight, should be attended by
physician, as evident from the fol-
lowing necessary procedure: Without
exception all wounds should be laid
| fully open under local, OF preferably
general anesthesia, and all foreign ma
terial and necrotic or badly injured
tissue removed. After thoroughly
cleansing the wound swab it out with
very strong solution of carbolie acid
and Immediately follow with a wash
ing with 95 per cent alcohol to prevent
further action of the acid Then wash
the wound with a $4,000 to 1-200(
solution of bichloride of mercury an6
1
ated solution of salicylic or boric acid
applying large, wet dressing OF the
same solution. The wound must never
be closed; healing must be by granu
lation. Renew the dressing and pack
ing every day.
Now comes the most important par
of the treatment. AS soon as th'
wound is dressed the patient must b.
given an injection of 1900 units of tie
tanus antitoxin, selecting the loos
tissue of the abdomen, the buttocks
well adapted part of the body. Pre-
ferably, the injection should be givel
while the patient is in recumben
position 1t is of the utmost import
ance that the antitoxin be give
promptly. After symptoms of tetanu
appear it is too late.
