The case of traumatic tetanus

In speaking with this communication, I mean mainly to give a description of the picture, the data, which I received when studying the brain of a man who died of traumatic tetanus. The interest of this study lies, by the way, in the fact that the material for my work was a fresh human brain, and the study could be done using the Nissl method, which of course is not always possible. We usually have the opportunity to study the human brain already at a time when the corpse has undergone significant decomposition, when, consequently, the application of the Nissl method is not entirely reliable, and the results obtained in this case are inconclusive and doubtful. Since I performed the study of the brain mainly according to the Nissl method, I consider it necessary to say a few words beforehand about this method.
