~ ??? SUPPLEMENT, j uu HI li v T iIV Tft THK 1 FARMERS AT RIDGE SPRING. The Nature and Causes of Tetanus, or Lockjaw, Fully Explained and a Sure Meanx of Prevention Set Kortl>. At the recent Farmers' Institute at I ilidge Spring- Dr. W. B. Niles, of the South Carolina University, read an excellent paper on lockjaw." The essay was of unusual interest to the farmers. They saw that Dr. Niles was thoroughly informed on veterinary science and asked him question after question and obtained from him considerable valuable information. The paper of Dr. Niles is as follows: TETANUS, Oli LOCKJAW. Gentlemen: Although I have written on a medical subject it has not been my objcct to prepare a paper for professional men alone, but to present the subject in such a way that the stock owner may obtain some tacts which will enable him to prevent to a great extent the loss which occurs from tetanus, or, as it is usually called, lockjaw. I have chosen this subject for two reasons. First, on account of its frequent occurrence and great fatality in our most valuable animalshorses and mules?and, second, from the fact that it can usually he prevented. WHAT IS TETANUS? Tetanus mav be defined to be a painful and fatal disease characterized by tetanic, that is, spasmodic, contractions of certain muscles, or groups of muscles. As the mouth is kept fairly closed at certain stages by the spasms of the muscles of the jaws the disease is commonly called lockjaw. Cases of tetanus arc frequently met with in the human family as well as in domestic animals. Of domestic animals horses and mules are the most frequent sullerers. Among these animals cases are of very frequent occurrence. In cattle and the smaller animals the disease is more rarely met with. Tins disease is one of the oldest and, on account of its distressing symptoms and its fatal termination, one of the most dreaded. It occurs more in warm than in temperate or cold countries, and in all countries it is more |frequent in summer than in winter. In \ this State it is much oftener met with ^ than in the Northern States. The reason for this will be noticed when " speaking of the cause of the disease. THE CAUSE OF THE DISEASE. Tetanus is usually described as traumatic i. e. resulting from a wound on some part of the body, and idiopathic when it occurs without obvious cause. Most cases observed follow a visible woutid, and we now suppose that the few cases wliicTi do not follow a visib'e wound are the result of a wound not risible. Ihis makes all eases traumatic. Recent investigations in regard to the exciting cause of the trouble indicate that infection always takes pla ? through a wound. Not only are accidental injuries followed by tetanus, but many surgical opera^ tions as well. Why woundj^fr^rtafn regions and certain operations are more liable otliei^to be followed ivtvmi; ^VVJI The disease in men most frequently occurs from wounds of the feet, knees and hands. In the horse and mule punctured wounds of the feet are the most dangerous. As au example may be mentioned punctured wouuds of the feet, causcd by treading on old nails. "Sticking a nail in the foot'* is a part of the history of most of the cases of tetanus in these animals. In general we find that punctured wounds (wounds penetrating deeply into the tissues) and wounds (accidental or surgical) which are apt, from their iocatiou, to come in contact with the soil or litter of any kind, arc those usually followed by the disease. Tetanus mav v<?rv* r>rf>rw>rlv hn called a nervous trouble. The symptoms indicate a deranged function of the nervous system. Instead of the muscles receiving only a sufficient amount of nerve stimulons to cause them to perform their ordinary work, a sufficient amount reaches them to keep them in a spasmodic state of contraction. SYMPTOMS OF LOCKJAW. This gives rise to peculiar symptoms which are easily recognized by most horse men. The* symptoms appear a few days after the infection of the injury, usually from the fourth to the fourteenth day. Very often tbe wound is slight and almost healed l>efore the symptom occurs* There is usually a stillness in the muscles near the seat of the injury. ?>oon tins extends to otlier muscles and eventually the whole muscular system becomes involved. The muscle's of the head become affected early and the animal has then great difficulty in working the jaws. Saliva flows from the mouth, swallowing is performed "with difficulty and soon the jaws become so set that the animal cannot eat at all. At this stage the eyeballs are drawn within the sockets, causing the hair to *how in the corner of the eye. The neck is so stiff that the head cannot bo moved from side to side nor lowered to the ground, the breathing is accelerated, the nostrils dilated, the tail is kept elevated and works like a pump Mliffelfc - fcandle if the animal be disturbed. If made to walk the movements are with n errant, tlenl nf fliffi. B^uUv. Altliougb the spasmodic contraction of the muscles is continuous the amount of muscular contraction is not at all times the same. If the animal be suddenly disturbed by a strong light, noises, etc., paroxysms of great severity occur. These symptoms continue to increase in severity. kThe muscles of respiration become involved and the animal dies at about the>ttth to the ninth day from suflfoKtfion caused by snasm of the muscles bf the throat am >,When fccovery .

Tie bnd was litis supposed to be the fcinir cause of the disease. We now v that the wound only serves as Means for the entrance into the As of the disease germ1, which are Rrue cause. Bacteriological reB has prove u that many diseases Bk to minute living organisms or Balled bacteria. These diseases jWkl infectious and contagious, ^living srerms constitute the virus r?h diseases. These germ^ grow ? and multiply in the animal body, in the blood aud other organs, when they i disturb the nominal functions of these tissues aud give lise to the disease symptoms. They enter the body by menus (?i wounds, with the food, water < j and air. They leave the body along I with ihe excretions, and if the conI ditions fire favorable enter the body of | another c.niinal of the same kind, when the characteristic symptoms ot the disease again develop. In the sirictly contagious diseases the germ ; does not multiply in the soil, water ! acd other media outside the animal i body, but Jits dormant until taken into tbe body of a snsceptible subject. In infectious diseases the germ grows and multiplies in suitable media (soil, water, etc,) outside the animal body, and thus finds its way indirectly from animal to animal. It is thus seen that an animal contracts a contagious disease usually by coming in immediate c -ntact with diseased animals. THE GERM OF GLAXDKUS. As an example of such a disease glanders may be mentioned. This is a contagious disease fount! most frequently in horses and mules. The ,Tr i ~??i?? gems ui giauuers ucvciup auu muniplies in the body and gives rise to the symptoms of the disease. The animal has a high fever, the lymphatic glands under the jaw swell and a nasal discharge appears. This discharge contain* the virus of the disease, thus making it the means of communicating the disease to other animal*. As examples of infections di^easos may be menjioned typgoirt fever in man, Texas fever in cattle and tetauus. Here the disease germs are not obtained direct from sick animals, but troin the soil, water, etc. It was not tftCI MA/iAtillir e i* ! !? ?# f nto it tu Ulllll l^UHUV cuppuogvi mac LV/iauuo i was an infectious disease. Bacteri- [ ological investigation has shown, however, that the exciting cause of the disease is a living organism thatgro.vs in ihe wound. This organism exists in the soil and is conveyed into the wound at the time of its infection or enters afterwards* The germ of tetanus is abundant in the soil of warm countries, warmth being favorable to the growth of low forms ot life. This explains why the disease is more prevalent here than in Northern States. The diserse can be experimentally prolit* *uiM??irr o litHo DQt*th r?/\n_ UUV\/U V/j?

I have scvcal times at our laboratory in the University at Columbia produced toe disease i:i i:*ice by inoculating them with a little soil from the University grounds. Such soil^if convex eil into a horse's foot by a nail would produce a case of lockjaw. TIIE 1JEST PLACE FOK TIIE GEUM, The germ of tetanus grows best in a deep wound and it is tor this reason that punctured wounds are the most dangerous. During the growth of the organisms a substance is produced which acts upon the system as a poison and gives rise to the spasms which characterize the disease. To sum up, we may say that tetanus is an infectious dlease, produced by living germs wtucii get into tne wounu at uie utne it is made or introduced later. TIIE MEAN'S OF l^KVEN'TIOX. the cause, preV^ntion^ i*r ^jasy. All wounds should beStfsinfieted as soon after they occur as possible. As a disinfecting solution, corrosive sublimate, one part to one thousand of water, or carbolic acid, one part to fifty of water, may be used. The wound should be kept wet with the solution lor several minutes so as to effectually destroy all bacteria that may have gotten into it. All punc- ( tured wounds should be opened so that the soiutiou can get to the very bottom of the wound. Punctured wounds of the feet require the most careful treat- ' ment. Tne opening in the sole made by the nail or other penetrating object should be at once enlarged sufficiently to allow the deep portion of the wound to be thoroughly disinfected. It should then be plugged with oakum or jute, aud a bandage tied over the en- , tire foot. If kept perfectly dry the wound will be well in a few days. Wounds treated iu this way will never be followed bv tetanus. This treat rnent applies to all animals, including ( man. By disinfecting all wounds, ( not only is tetanus "prevented, but blood poisoning and suppuration are obviated. Wounds, after being disinfected and dressed iu such a way as to ( prevent the entrance of bacteria, heal , rapidly without suppurating. In rc- I gard to the treatment of tetanus, but , little need be said- Most cases termi- ! uate fatally. Many drugs have the { power of relaxing the contracted ] muscles, but as soon as the cfleet of the medicine parses off the spasms re- ( IllHIt If'UK AHAll itKAOf Al> eai. \r?M iuiii n uu ^cuiii>. JIUU cities sometimes recover if kept in a , very quiet place and the strength kept up by giving such food as the patient can eat. The disease .-hould be prevented instead ot cured, and when the way of prevention becomes more generally known cases of the disease will ! be ot much rarer occurrence. HEMPHI l.L AND XHIS FARMISKS. 1 "What He Thinks of the Sub-Treasury Plan ' ?He Cannot Support it Because He Thinks it Hostile to the Fanners* Inter- . which allows deposits only of cotton, corn, oats, wheat and tobacco. Many farmers have other products that will not be admitted. Some have none ot these. Of these five, the North grows ' four, while the South sells largely only one. We buy corn, meal and wheut j from the North, and, as cousumers, j would suffer it the prices cf these arti- j cles are greatly advanced. It is an- { swered that we can advance the price j of cotton. That may be, bat we a.-e ; compelled to buy food, while the ] Northwest gets but little cotton, and i can substitute other fabrics for cotton j ornrtfls. We injiv therefore have to nav ! more than we <ret back. But, if it ia wished to put only eot- i tou in the warehouse, such a.bill would j uever pa3?, for the South is in a minotirv, anu the innj rilv will never; consent 10 contribute solely to the i. advantage of this section. Again only ! one-third of the country in the Union j" produce $000,000 worth of products,; and so two-thirds would secure no 1 direct advantage from the bill. There ; is lit lie chance of persuading two-!' third* of the country that are too poorj to rax'hemselves to build warehouses1 for the richer third. Even if the wan-Muse i? built the. MnMBOHBMM ??jM?M??^3 trouble is not over. The government ] { cun receive only such cotton as is tree : lroin iieu. It' the merchant waives his ' i lien what advantage is it to get money from the government to pay him? But j even cotton free from lien, the farmer j who raises iOQ bales will get twenty j times as much advantage as the 10 bale i farmer. Yet he doesu7t need aid,! while his poorer neighbor has to pay a j greater proportion of the expense of j the warehouse throngh the Federal system of taxation. Again everybody vrhu o amis cotton can put it in the warehouse, and the rich factors of Charleston, Wilmington, etc., wouldask no softer snao than ;o store hundreds of thousands of bales in the government warehouse free Irom insurance and storage and have the use of SO per cent "of the value at only 1 percent. These warehouses cost $50,000,000. Few people can realize the magnitude of this amount. It is one-third the , assessed proper;v of South Carolina.; We already pay too much to the Fed- j eral government. Dut there is another very serious phase of the proposition. The Constitution requires that all Federal officers shall be appointed by the President. It is impossible to make a law that allows the farmers to choose a L-Pf>rw>r nf rln? ronvphrtnsp, S/MlMtftr i Vance has been denounced for altering ihe original bill in this regard, whereas if he had not made it conform to the Constitution it would not have been in a form lor consideration at all. Under the Constitution then the President would appoint a twarm of Federal officials who would certainly, for a while, be llepublicans, and probably ignorant and corrupt. These men j would be absolutely masters of the business ofevciy man who puts his producc with them. If they did injustice the United States would be responsible. But the government cannot be sued without its consent, which is hard to yet. Then you mutt ?:o into aj United Stales Court, and even it you get your judgment you cannot get the money utiui you nave a special aci 01 j Congress passed. Congress is mighty j slow iii passing such bills, to say noth- | ing of there being fifteen thousand | bills ahead of it on the calendar. I j would rather have a claim of fifteen ; cents against a tramp than one of j thousands of dollars against the United 1 States. There is at this time pending j a judgment against the government for one hundred thousand dollars stolen froui tlie people of the South over twenty years ago. We have ever since been trying to gel a bill through to pay it to its rightful owner.-, but j have never been able to do so. if the government advances fifty j cents a bushel of corn to a Western : farmer, and the corn spoils as it some- j times does, the government sustains; the loss and you pay your share of it j as taxpayers. This is an extra burden, j Tlii> t'jirrnor* l?jivr* foil ml matiY nre- i tended trends just now. I could catch a great many votes by advocating Jlu? " measure, but I will not &it&r"your vote if 1 must help ~you~:o do something to ruin yea" I might promise to do so kujwlhg that I would probably ncvcrget a chance. Many men have bf\5n sent to Congress on a single issue, say for instance the Blair bill, and they have sat through their whole term without ever seeing the bill brought up. 1 have no idea this warehouse Dill will ever come nn, and I could easily pledge mvself to support it ?iMtl>Ant f,\ \'f\t?

There are no more alike than an elephant and a callowav bird. The government has six times as much interest in a gallon of whiskey as the distiller. Government allows him to store it &wav until it "ages" in a house to which lhe government holds the key. After a certain time if he doesn't sell it the government does, pays iis tax out of the sale and turns him over any balance that may remain. It is just as the auditor assesses your prop erty out aiiows you 10 weep me ia.\ un!il the fall. If yon don't pay then the sheriff sells the property." Government never advances a cent to the distiller. As to national banks, auy five men, whether merchants, farmers, or otherwise, can get a charter and establish one 011 purchasing a ccrtain amount of government bonds at market price. Ihe onlp advantage ot national over State banks is that the national law is known, while States have diffemt laws. est. Congressman Hemphill, in his speech i! a?. ltiMtb Hill, exnonnded his views of the sub-trea-ury scheme, of which the 1 following is a meagre synop>is. His < speech was said to have been eloquent and forcible. i The purposes of the sub-treasury ' bill is a good one and he endorses that ' purpose most heartily, but he thinks 1 the result of the adoption of this particular measure will be anything but what is desired. After showing what i the bill is he criticised the feature ) Otherwise a State bank is mueh the best for you to found. I am anx:ous to give relief to the country. We have passed a bill thut will increase the currency $o-?,000,000 i year. If this does not "give relief it would be well to remove the Federal tax on Slate banks. If elected 1 shall vote to reueal this tax, and will support every other wise measure of relief. But I do not believe iu the sub-treasury plan. I believe it will raise the price of bread and meat to the injury L>f every poor man and woman iu this country. I do not believe any man who has your best interests at heart will do it. If we can't devise a bei'er scheme than that we have not the brains we ought to huvt\ 1 ain not willing to !<o to Congress on :i promise that would never be fn!tilled, and if fulfille t will state the best itm^ests of the country. The speech is said to have been wcl ; received and to have convinced many ( svho heard it of the impracticability of , I he measure.
