SOUTHERD BELLTELEPHOnE RI1D TELEGRAPH COIRPMU INDODPOMKO ??1 CAUSE AND PREVENTION ) OF I TETANUS Tetanus (or lockjaw) Is not so common as formerly, chiefly because of the rapid disappearance of tlie horse and mule, and the tetanus dorm emanates from the excreta of these animals. It is one of the most resistant of all germs to ordinary methods of sterilization, and has been known to live on sticks, nails and in dirt for years. Wounds from cap pistols sometimes result in tetanus, because germs from the dirty paper made from horse hair has been driven into the wound. In all instances where injury Is received oh the street, playground or where dirt has had a chance to enter the wound, tetanus serumshould be administered by a competent-physician at once. Serum which .when given in time* will prevent tetanus, is administered by a simple hypodermic injection. It is harmless and the patient may usually return immediately to his work or play.
