injections Of tetanuS toxoid.
In one form, three injec-
tions are necessary at four to
six week intervals. In an
other. only two. Adequate
protection is usually obtained
six weeks after the last in

lection, it is wise to have
booster injections every five
yearS-or sooner, If there is
injury.
When a person suffers an
injury. treatment is up to
the doctor. With superficial
abraSionS, only a good
cleansing may be necessary.
If more extensive, the doctor
will administer penicillin.
