TETANUS IS NOT a very common disease, but it Is such a serious one and is so readily prevented by proper measures that some information about it will be of interest. It is generally known ae. lockjaw, because one of the early symptoms of the disease is a stiffness of the jaws. It is caused by a micro-organism called the -tetanus bacillus, the natural home of which is in `horse -manure or in well-manured soil or about farmyards. One reads in the papers that this affection is frequently found among our soldiers in Flanders, who have been wounded. The reason for this is that the soil of Flanders is very -thoroughly manured, and the mud and dust isliable to carry the infection to wounds and abrasions, sustained by the men. Most germs are easily killed by free exposure to air and sunlight. The tetanus bacillus is readily destroyed in the same way, but few if any forms of life have greater resistance than the tetanus spore, which will resist streaming steam or boiling water for nearly an hour. That is why the disease. remains indefinitely in the soil. Consequently great precautions are taken to prevent the soldier's wounds becoming infected, and if this occurs, to forestall the infection. The first may in most cases be accom- plished by painting the wound with iodine and applying the first-aid dressing -carried by every man. But if the wound becomes infected, and indeed as a routine precaution, in case of all wounds at the front, a dose of Tetanus Antitoxin is given. This is a specific and trustworthy preventive if admin istered before the symptoms of tetanus show themselves. But tetan'ss antitoxin is also useful in the treatment of the disease by combining with and neutralizing the free toxin. ". Like other infections tetanus has a period of minbation, which means the time it takes from when the wound is received until the disease shows itself. In tetanus this period is from six to fourteen days. If the dose of toxin'received is large and the disease severe the time will be short. A six- day minbation is generally fatal. Commonly the disease conies on with a stiffness of the jaws at about nine or ten days after the wound, whether it . be from a rusty nail, a bullet, or other object. A ratherremarkable case showing the efficiency of this treatment is shown in the case of Eddit di Palms, an Italian boy residing in London, Ont. Running about barefooted last August this little lad drove a nail' into his foot just back of the toes. Nine days later the lad could not swallow. His jaws were set. The parents were poor, but their love was just as strong for their boy as that of people in better circumstances. They appealed to _a ,physician, who applied -to the Medical Officer of Health, and he wired to the Provincial Board of Health for a supply of free Tetanus Antitoxin. Twenty two thousand five hundred units were at once given, some into the muscles, some into the veins, and some into the spinal canal. This was repeated daily, and the boy recovered. The M. O. H. says'. "Nothing saved him but the prompt and fearless action on the part. of the attending physician, who thrust 93,000 units of antitoxin between the boy and death." Had the parents known that a rusty, dirty nail may carry the germs of Tetanus and that 1,500 units of the antitoxin given at the time of the acci- dent followed by a similar dose a week later would have prevented all the trouble, they doubtless would have attended to it. Now they say "Safety First." While it IS of the highest importance to use preventive doses of tetanus :antitoxin, it is quite ' important that the wound should be thoroughly cleansed. Punctured or lacerated wounds should be thoroughly opened and every particle of foreign matter removed. Wounds containing garden -earth, street dust, manure, or other material liable to contain the spores of 'tetanus should receive special consideration. They should be disinfected by 'the; use of pure carbolic acid, which is painless and whose action may be .checked by the application of alcohol. ". Tetanus and other wound iinfections' may be avoided in those exposed to ,accidents by cleanliness of body and elatbing. A bath before a battle is`'. :said to have been required in -the Japanese army and navy. Most wounds heal without 'any danger from tetanus, but where a wound is exposed to ''',.,',41.1.r.t it does not pay to take chances. • McGILLIVRAY A bad accident occurred to Dr. D. J. McColl V.
