The injections were always followed by muscular paroxysms and death, even though 100 times the neutralizing dose of antitoxin was in the bloodstream and even though some doses of the poison were...
Last week Dr. Firor told members of the Society of University Surgeons, meeting at Rochester, N. Y., the conclusions of his research. As long as tetanus toxin has not had time to enter the spinal cord, he said, tetanus antitoxin can neutralize the poison and check the disease. But once toxin enters the cord, it somehow becomes transformed into a new poison. "The new substance is not attacked by the present antitoxin," said Dr. Firor. In answer to questions of enthusiastic colleagues, he said that he will shortly try to prepare a second antitoxin which will cure the final stages...
