An exchange says: “Every little while we read in the papers of some one who has run a rusty nail into his foot, knee, hand or some other portion of his person, and that lockjaw has resulted therefrom, of which the patient died. Yet all such wounds, it is said, can be healed without such fatal consequences as often follow them. The remedy is simple. It is to smoke such wounds, or any wound or bruise that is inflamed, with burning wool or a woollen cloth. Twenty minutes in the smoke of wool will take the pain out of the worst wound, and repeated once or twice it will allay the worst case of inflammation arising from the wound.”
