It does look as if antitoxins were known about in the 19th century. Wild jump here - was it antitoxin serum used to inoculate against snake bite, possibly?

Having had another Google search just searching on toxin-antitoxin, it would appear that the latest information appears first and seems to mention genes. Admittedly this would apply to much more current medical science. However when I searched earlier this morning, on a different computer, using the phrase "toxin-antitoxin right thigh" I landed on a page that had an article dated 1927. Also this pdf written in 1939

mentions diphtheria and necrotic skin lesions.

Up thread diphtheria was mentioned too.

Thank you Pat.

It does not sound like a good way to die. Poor baby.
