The fact that the child died of tqtanus has aroused considerable in- : terest, due to the comparatively rare nature pf the disease and to the severefqrrq. it takes. Assurance, however is giyen that tfie dreaded germs are 1 usually confined to certain areas and w.ith eare contact can be avoided. ; There is not the least cause for anxiety thpt the appearanee of pne isolated 'case may lead to others; but ; under any circumstances a scratch from a f usty nail or other implement, particularly iii the yicinity of farms, ' shoufd be imjhediately attended to.
