    CAPUT XXII. De Tetano. Tetanus in pueris recens natis rarissi- mus in Anglia, quibusdam in regionibus haud insuetus morbus est. Inter sextum et nonum diem repente incidit, et quos corripit interficit. Hunc morbum Barcelonae vulgarem de- scripsit Hyacinthus Andreas; eundem in Minorca, Cleghorn; in insulis Americanis, aliisque regionibus calidis, Hillary; in Sco- tiae insula, quam Sanctam Kildam vocant, Macaulay; in America Septentrionali, Rush. Si quis aliquando medicinae locus erit, censeo balneum, fricationem, medicamenta in alvum infusa, et exulcerantia esse ten- tanda.
