The purpose of this paper is to place on record the available figures relating to cases of tetanus which occurred in Home Military Hospitals during the Great War of 1914–1918. It may be considered that some of the tables give no very useful or practical information, but they are nevertheless recorded in order that medical officers at the outbreak of some future war may have the opportunity of learning what was done for the prevention and treatment of tetanus during this war. For example nothing can be gained from a study of the figures given in this analysis with regard to the curative or therapeutic value of antitetanic serum, but it may be of some antiquarian interest half a century hence to know the amount given and the mode of administration in the years 1914–1918.
