ALTERNATIVE SUGGESTION They suggest that when curare is used there should be available some from of artificial respiration apparatus (such as the Drinker apparatus) to keep the patient alive even if respiration fails

Certain experimental work sug- gests that this is a feasible propo- sítion but only if another sugges- tion is put into force, namely, that all lockjaw cases should be treated at centralised institutions where experienced doctors and the neces sary apparatus would be avail-

Another alternative suggestion, again based upon some satisfac- tory experimental results, is that a patient with lockjaw should be kept under the continuous induen- ce of gas-and-oxygeri anaesthesia by relays of anaesthetists.
