Abstract
It will not be an overstatement to say that the value of studies on tetanus passes far beyond the limits of this particular problem. Here, in this small streamlet, lies the branch of a big river of medical science. Its history was pleased to arrange the events in such a way that many discoveries marking an epoch in general and infectious pathology and laying the foundation of theoretical and practical immunology, seroprophylaxis and serotherapy were made in the course of studying tetanus.
