As long ago as 1926 Ramón3reported satisfactory immunization of humans using formol toxoid or anatoxin. Work on this subject was confined largely to France for the next few years. Then, on this continent from 1932 to 1936, various papers appeared, reporting...References1. HALL WW: Active immunization against tetanus with tetanus toxoid, U. S. Nav. Med.
