Perhaps!! The website: "http://www.henriettesherbal.com/eclectic/journals/elth1908/07-tetanus.html" appears to provide a cure for tetanus, so they claim, and the actual ingredients used are provided. The following is a quoted excerpt (but please get your physician's approval before attempting. Swift action is necessary):

F. B. MATTHEW, M. D., BLUE MOUND, ILL.
  • "The following is the routine prescription that I have used in every case. Gelsemium, the green root tincture, twenty drops; carbolic acid, 98 per cent, twenty drops; water, twenty drops. This quantity entire is injected into the tissues of the thigh every six hours. While the quantity of carbolic acid seems large, no abscess is formed, and only the best of results in this most serious disease are attained. The remedy is accessible, easily managed, and in every way justifiable, in fact, any physician is guilty of criminal negligence if he knows of this course for the cure of tetanus and does not use it."
  • "COMMENT.-Upon receiving the above paper from Dr. Matthew, I immediately remembered that four years ago Dr. E. H. Stevenson, late president of "The National," had spoken very highly to me of his use of the injection of carbolic acid in large doses for the cure of this disease"

No, just supportive treatment of the complications. Tetanus is fatal in 10% of cases. The best way to treat tetanus is by not letting it occur. Immunisation is key to preventing the disease.
