CURING LOOKJAW. Scrum Conquers First Successfully Treated Case of United States. New York Tribune. Mrs. Annette Koesting, of No. 289 Grove street, Williamsburg, whose recovery from lockjaw, the third cure on record and the llrst in this country, was told about in yesterday's Tribune, will bo discharged probably today from the Williamsburg Hospital, where she was taken a mouth ago, apparently dying. Mrs. Koesting ran a rusty nail into her left arm while attempting to close a window. She paid no attention to the wound until a week later, when her arm suddenly swelled to twice ils natural size. Tetanus poisoning had fully developed in that time and when she sent for hor physician he could do nothing for tier. W'lien Mrs. Koesting was taken to the hospital she was suffering great agony. The physicians found that ; her jaws had become firmly locked I and the case had reached its last stages. Dr. Hen.'diet Vogt. the house j surgeon, immediately sent for Profs. Butler and Malament, visiting surgeons of the hospital, and they decided that her only chance to live was to undergo the tetanus antitoxin . 1 treatment. A double hypodermic in-j ' jection of the serum was administer- j ( ed. Tier jaws had become so tightly ' locked that it was necessary to remove one of her teeth so she could j be fed liquid food. Although she1 had been treated by her family pity- j sieian and two physicians of the health depart merit the week previous to her entering the hospital, the medicine they used evidently had no effect. After a week of their treatment, using the antitoxin serum with no success, they gave it up as useless and recommended her to the hospital. The first day's treatment at thci Jiospital consisted of four injections -of the fluid and the next day the phv-' sicians were surprised to see that her' condition was no worse. The patient's' temperature, respiration and color, were gradually returning i.o their, noraml condition. The next day only, two injections of the serum were made and the third day sho showed xnoro improvement. This treatment, was kept up for a I week, and at. the end of that time Dr. I ( Vogt found that she was able to open | her jaw nearly a quarter of an inch, i This being the tlrst sign of cure, the physicians informed Drs. Butler and: Malament again. Two days later she j was able to open her jaws nearly an ! inch. The swelling due from the poison was gradually disappearing. The! following week the patient was able i to take food and improved rapidly ev- j erv dav. % ' I The physicians reduced the quan- j titv of serum every day for twol weeks until her jaws could he opened.) She was soon able to chew meats and j other solid food with ease. Three days ago the patient sat up and was soon j able to walk around the wards of' the hospital. She lia^ recovered so j fully that she is now pronounced al- J most cured. i The hospital physicians said yes-I ti rdav that a report of her case i would he made to the County Medi- j cal Society and would he brought up J before the members of the Academy j of Medicine. Of tlie two oilier cases of leianus j cured one was in Merlin and the oth i. 1 <T in 1 ranee. lie art Protectors. Philadelphia Kccord. Many persons are puzzled to know why policemen wear their badges so low on the coats instead of on tho flap made for that purpose. As a mat- ' tor of fact, the badge, or star, as he calls it, of many a policeman is right next to hi< heart. Some of the blue- ; coals c;\n thank their ' 'stars'' for be-j ing alive. This little metal shield has! detlected the bullet of burglar or highwayman, and at times, too. has stopped the knife thrust of would-be assassins. During the last twenty or thirty years there are many cases on record showing that the little badge has been a life saver. Even bullets fired at close range, as a rule cannot penetrate the shield. That's why a bluecoat always feels safer in keeping the star at a vital spot. When off duty some policemen wear their stars on their vests, but always directly over the heart. They are so accustomed to the little protector that they feel uneasy without it. The Unpopular Pump. "That famous temperance reformer, the late Frances Murphy," said a Pittsburg man, according to the Washington Star, "had many an odd adventure in the course of his very useful life. "Ho onco told mo of a case where . Sift. w<V .. X'i" -v.. ...... :i drinking man, with a neat joke, got for ?lie moment a little the belter of liiin in an argument. "The man was a club man, a bon vivant, famous i'or his wino cellar, ami Mr. Murphy read him a strong lecturo on the drink evil. "Hut the bon vivant only smiled, shook his head and said: " 'Well, Mr. Murphy, I have seen many a pleasant party round a table, but I have never seen one round a pump.'
