TREATMENT OF SCARLET FEVER.

PREVALENCE or THE DISEASE IN THE TENEMENT
HOUSE DIsTRICTs-DR. JANEwAYs ADVICE TO
PARENTS AND NURSES.
In the more thickly settled portions of New-York.
especially among the tenement-houses scarlet fever
has taken firm hold No one locality seems to be
particularly affected but in the neigh borhood Dor
dering both the North and the East rivers this dis
ease is scattered very generally. Every day new
cases are reported to the Board of Health. For the
week ending july 10, sixty-nine cases were re-
ported; aud for the week following forty-nine.
The report for this week is as follows Monday,
five cases Tuesday, twelve cases; yesterday, five
cases.
Professor Chandler said to a TRIBUNE reporter
Yesterday that far too little care is taken TO prevent
the spread of the disease The public seems almost
indifferent concerning IT. In order 10 cOniine scar
let fever within its present limits the stctest care
must be observed by both patients aud those III at
DR.. Janeway, of the Board of Health, yesterday
furnished the following statement OF the proper
treatment Of scarlet fever patients. Ihls must be
followed IN every particular IN order TO prevent con-
tagIOn
first-Tbe patient must he isolated placed in a
separate room, the top floor II possible ms Is
of the very trst Importance After tins there are
various preCaut to be taken. The carpet should
be taken up. No books or articles should be taken
from the room unless imDedi atey fumigated All
discharges to be received INTO dlsntectlng
fund, and ali bedding or clothing should be placed
the room. During the sickness the patient should
be Amounted with cold cream. This prevents the
fragments of skin from scattering. When recOV-
cred a thorough bath should be taken before going
into the company of Others and clothing should be
which was not worn during the sickness The
room must be thoroughly scrubbed, whtewashed
and fumeated with sulphur. his last operation
is often caIelcssly and Intellectually performed The
proper way is 10 place the sulphur III Kettle, and
tins in pan of water. little alcohol poured upon
the sulphur makes 1t burn easily, There must be
no air stirring; windows ana doors must be closed
The room should aferward be exposed to the air
and left unoccupied for several days. Persons who
have charge OF the sick should change their gar
ments and wash their hands before going out. In
every case where scarlet fever proves fatal there
should be a private funeral.
DR.. Jdncway thlnks that hot weather is less IA
VOrable for the increase of the disease than cooler
weather. This he has noticed year after year. The
reason is, that during the hot weather houses are
more thoroughly ventilated, and the air, having
free circulation, acts as a dlsln1eCtant

Brooklyn does not seem destined to advance with
out trouble. In Aprl last she purchased the Wesley
Methodist Episcopal Church, at Willoughby and

financial difficulties and had TO be sold under fore
closure. cbattei mortgage upon the furniture OF
the church and parsonage was held by Thomas
Nostrand. member of the church, who wished Miss
Oliver to buy the furniture for $1,000. As she did
not need the parsonage furniture aud considered
his price too high, she declined to make the pur-
chase, but hired the furniture of the church for
three months for $50. The three months expired
Oh July /, and last Sunday night Mr.. Nostrand
caused the removal of the furniture including the
carpets, cushions seats on the platform, and other
things Ii is said that Mr. Nostrand also claims the
right to remove the Sunday-schOOl library, class
banners, pictures of the pastors gas fixtures and
altar raIlngS
