[Inhibition of tetanus poisoning by vitamin B-1]

It was shown in experiments on rabbits that preliminary injections of vitamin B-1 with their continuation after the administration of tetanus toxin increased the animal resistance to tetanus. A more distinct protective effect was noted after the administration of tetanus toxin in vitamin B-1 solution. A tendency to increase of resistance was observed after the use of the vitamin 2 hours after the toxin injection.
