Perhaps the infection of the soil, the typhoid-carrying waters that seep through and into the trenches, the tetanus and gangrene that may infect the simplest wounds, are due to the long intensive cultivation of that fertile country, to the fertilisation by organic matter of its fields.
The thing that had been a black woman and, now, seemed like nothing earthly except a bundle of red rags, gave up the miserable soul it contained and, stiffening in the clutches of tetanus, became a hoop. What happened then to the remaining villagers could be heard echoing for miles through the forest in the shrieks and wails of the tortured ones.
The wound must be purified in the usual way, and all instruments and appliances used for operations on tetanic patients must be immediately sterilised by prolonged boiling. Treatment. When tetanus has developed the main indications are to prevent the further production of toxins in the wound, and to neutralise those that have been absorbed into the nervous system.
Skin-grafting is sometimes useful in covering in the large raw surface left after separation or removal of sloughs. Erysipelas Diphtheria Tetanus Hydrophobia Anthrax Glanders Actinomycosis Mycetoma Delhi boil Chigoe Poisoning by insects Snake-bites.
