Secondary lockjaw in Warwick boy critical
East Greenwich R I May 17. William A Pierce's 15 year old son is critically ill with an attack of lockjaw in Warwick. The cause puzzles the physician in charge. Two years ago the boy cut his foot in the river and this was followed by lockjaw but he recovered. Last week he noticed jaw tightening and doctors initially blamed a cold. Last Thursday symptoms worsened and lockjaw became unmistakably present. The absence of wounds confuses the case though a second attack is usually fatal. The doctor says there is a chance of recovery while the boy remains critically ill.
