Calendula and HypericumCalendula, if the wound is lacerated, if it is a deep gash, whose sides can be but imperfectly united ; if moving causes pain, even after the wound is dressed; if the skin or flesh has come off in pieces; if the wound looks torn and jagged; it answers for the worst kind of pains when Hypericum is ineffectual.

them on the wound. To persons who have a morbid skin, which is irritated by the slightest injury and suppurates, give Chamomilla; and

should it do no good, Hepar.

Tetanus, Lock-jaw

When convulsive symptoms appear after an injury, and lock-jaw is to be apprehended, it

is always best to send at once for a physician.

9

Tetanus is infection of the nervous system with the potentially deadly bacteria Clostridium tetani (C. tetani).

An early sign of tetanus, in which the jaw is locked closed because of a tonic spasm of the muscles of mastication. Also called trismus.

But, if in this emergency none can be obtained, endeavor to render assistance as you may be

able. If a patient who has been wounded, complains of pains in the bowels, without any

other cause, lock-jaw is to be feared.

Tetanus is a life-threatening but preventable disease caused by the toxin of Clostridium tetani,

a ubiquitous, spore-forming, gram-positive bacillus found in high concentrations in soil and

animal excrement. Reported tetanus cases have declined >95%, and deaths from tetanus have declined >99% in the

US since 1947.

A 2001—2008 Report found that 233 tetanus cases were reported during 2001--2008; among the 197 cases with known outcomes, the case-

fatality rate was 13.2%.
