When q case of diphtheria occurs in +
| any family, the sick person should be
placed:in q room apart from the other
| inmates OF the. house, and should be
nursed, as far as possible, by, one person
only. The sick chamber should be well
warmed and exposed to sunlight and
well aired; its furniture should be such
as will permit of cleansing without in
jury, and all extra articles, such as win.
! dow and table drapery, wooden carpets,
| upholstered furniture and all hanglngs,
should be removed from the room dur
ing the sickness. The physician and
nurse, as rule, should be the only per-
sons admitted to the room. o.. ''''

be warned of the presence of danger
GUS disease therein, and children es-
pecially should not be admitted: Ali
| clothing removed from the patient, or
the bed, should be at once placed in
boiling water, or in a tub of disinfect-
ing fluid e or. sulphate zinc, 1 OF. car

nurse before Icing carried through the
house or handled BY any tothet person.
They MAY be soaked in this fluid for an
hour and then placed in boiling water
for boiling. e.v.:.,,
It is better; mot to use handkerchiefs
for cleaning the nostrils and mouth, of
fthe patient, but rather soft rags, which
should be Immediately thereafter
burned. All vessels for receiving the
discharges of the patient should con;
! stantly contain some disinfecting
t fluid. Water closets and privies in the
T house should be disinfected daily with
q solution of copperas-two pounds to
a gallon of water. Every kind and
source Of filth in and around the house
should be thoroughly removed, and dis
infectants freely used. Cleanliness
tends both to prevent and mitigate the
disease. Drains should. be put IN per
feet order, and ventilated by fourrinch
+ straight pipe extended above the highest
/ point OF the roof Of the house in every
instance terminating at distance from
any chimney or other ventilator. Child

school or mingle with other children
tatil the patient has wholly recovered,
And all infected articles have been dis
] infected. PHI ..
On therecovery or death OF the pa
| tient the most thorough disinfection
should follow. The; room and all a.
ticles in it should be at once subjected
to the fumes of burning sulphur as, fol.
lows: Close the room tight ~ and burn
two and a half pounds of sui hur to each
| one thousand feet of cubic space. After
four or six hours open the room and
expose it to the air and sunlight for
week. Anything that can be boiled
without injury may be so treated. The
walls and ceilings should be dry rubbed
or lime7washed, and the floors washed
| with soap and water, to. which may be
added little carbolic acid. When
death occurs the body should Boz i'm.
mediately placed in the coffin, with dis,
infeetahts, and the coffin tightly and
finally closed. No public funeral should
ever take place at the house where the
patient did, nor elsewhere, unlesssthe
coffin remains theoretically sealed.
