Excerpt from The Standardization of Tetanus Antitoxin: An American Unit Established Under Authority of the Act of July 1, 1902
There are now four methods of measuring the strength of tetanus antitoxin: (1) The German method described by Behring, (2) the French method of Roux, (3) the Italian method after Tizzoni, and (4) the American method described in this bulletin.
The European standards are admitted to be unsatisfactory and, for the most part, not accurate; further, they are complicated and difficult to carry out. The American method adopted officially under the law of July 1, 1902, for this country is the result of several years, work upon this Subject in the Hygienic Laboratory and it is believed will commend itself for its simplicity, directness, and accuracy.
The standard toxines and antitoxins are preserved under special precautions to prevent deterioration and are tested against each other reciprocally, so that the least alteration in either may be detected.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book details the work done around the standardization of Tetanus Antitoxin, establishing uniformity for this product for the first time in the United States. It begins by listing the differing methods of testing tetanus antitoxin before the adoption of a universal American unit, which ensures the serums found on the market are uniformly potent. The author then provides a historical review of tetanus, from the learned Aretaeus of Kappadoza to the present day. Of particular interest is the section on the work done by the author and other scientists to develop a stable, dried tetanus poison. The final chapters of this book delve into the chemical nature of the tetanus toxin, which remains a mystery to this day. The insights provided in this book have been crucial in the development of the tetanus antitoxin we rely on today, and serve as an important reminder of the ongoing battle against tetanus and other infectious diseases.
