From this first-aid post, after inoculating me with anti-tetanus serum to prevent lockjaw, I was put into an ambulance and sent to temporary hospital behind the lines. To reach this hospital we had to go along a road about five miles in length. This road was under shell fire, for now and then a flare would light up the sky, a tremendous explosion, and then the road seemed to tremble.
The writing was all over the plate like a biled dinner, and the English looked like it had been shook up in a bag, but it was signed with a nine fathom, toggle-jinted name that would give a pollparrot the lockjaw, and had the word "Count" on the bow of it. You never see a feller happier than Peter T. Brown. "Can he have rooms?" says Peter. "CAN he? Well, I should rise to elocute!
The following are some examples of the statements of the somatopsychic group: Laura A.: “I can’t move,” and retrospectively, “My arms were stiff.” Bridget B. claimed retrospectively that she felt dead or drugged, that her limbs were lifeless, she felt as if she had lockjaw. Johanna B. remembered being pricked with a pin on several occasions but claimed that she did not feel the pain at any time.
"There's a di-ack-lum plaster on, but it's all raw under," Georgie answered, complying. "Dothent it hurt?" her grey eyes were full of pity and interest. "Awf'ly. Perhaps it will give me lockjaw." "It lookth very horrid. I'm tho thorry!" She put a forefinger to his hand, and held her head sidewise for a better view. Here the nurse turned, and shook him severely.
Ma passed the pickles to me this morning, and I took one mouthful, and like to had the lockjaw. But Ma didn't do it on purpose, I guess. She never had the mumps and didn't know how discouraging a pickle is. Darn if I didn't feel as though I had been struck in the butt of the ear with a brick. But about Pa. He has been fuller'n a goose ever since New Year's day.
"I don't know what you are talking about, but I do know that whenever they take hold of anything they have to be treated for lockjaw before they will let go. If you don't come up here beside me I'll have a fit, Mr. Crosby." "That's it that's what I mean," he cried eagerly. "If they close those jaws upon anything they won't let go until death them doth part.
I tried it once," replied Ann, "and got my jaws so gummed up that I might as well have had the lockjaw." "It is according to what season you get the gum," explained Helen. "Now, see here, girls: We ought to have a name for this camp." "Oh, oh!" "Quite so!" "'Why not?" were some of the responses to this suggestion. "Let's call it 'Sweet Dreams," said one girl.
Thus the germs that cause plague and lockjaw find their way into the system principally through abrasions of the skin. Many physicians have come to believe that the typhoid fever germ cannot get into the body from the intestine where it is taken with our food or drink unless the walls of the intestine have been injured in some way.
It is this power of easily adapting themselves to different conditions that makes many of the kinds dangerous. The bacillus which causes tetanus or lockjaw will illustrate this. It is a rather common bacillus in soil in many localities.
When I found myself, for instance, disentangling the sloop's mast from the branches of a tree after she had drifted three times around a small island, against my will, it seemed more than one's nerves could bear, and I had to speak about it, so I thought, or die of lockjaw, and I apostrophized the Spray as an impatient farmer might his horse or his ox.
