Tetanus o\lcd~ ?cs^I*_ - Mr. Lockjaw Actually, he's a dangerous fellow to tangle with and we hope you never meet him. But, of course, there is always a chance that you may. He's a germ that doctors call TETANUS. An outlaw of the worst kind, he is everywhere, and is always waiting to step into an open scratch on your skin or into a fresh wound of any kind. So it is a good thing to know something about him and to know how you can prevent him frm attacking you. ^ Mr. LOCKJAW gets ft*"'"* , 'i li lb ut?iuii itriy ivMuwii uiai u-iauus ycnita breed in stable manure, but that does not mean that only farmers and country people are in danger of Tetanus infection. Tetanus germs are carried to cities or communities in various ways: in the dust or mud on people's shoes, in earth adhering to vegetables like potatoes, in loads of manure for private gardens, on the unwashed hands of people. It is amazing how the Tetanus germ gets around until he is everywhere. Minor wounds are sometimes a dangerous source of infection. Factory workers can acquire Tetanus from tcols if they have an open scratch or an unprotected wound. Persons using garden tools or even working in a florist shop are exposed. Deep wounds resulting from stepping on a protruding nail in a board on the ground or from running a wood splinter into hand or foot are wide open to infection. People wounded in auto accidents often become victims of Tetanus, especially if passengers or driver are thrown onto the i usty pavement or onto the earth or gravel shoulder of the road.

Once the disease has become established in the body, the only treatment is an injection of Antitoxin.
