MANAGEMENT OF DIPHTHEsIA.
The Sanitary Engineer gives the folio wing
suggestions for the treatment OF this drea led
disease The precautions to be taken in the
management of well-marked case of diph-
liberia are, or should be, generally known ;
they have been published circulars by
Ill Il, ~ ~.
lar and medical press, and may be summed
up as follows: Isolate the patient IN an
airy room having the least possible amount
OF furniture, especially that which is uph0ls-
tered. and having no carpet or curtains.
| Disinfect all excretions aud secretions, es-
pecially those from the throat, nose. and
mouth. and all articles soiled by them,
promptly, while they are yet moist, and
Thoroughly. Use clean, soft rags for receiving
the discharges from the nose and mouth,
/ and burn them fast soiled. II
other articles are soiled use solutions OF
! chloride of zinc or bichleride of mercury,
under the instructions of the physician. BE
espe cially careful as regards toys, pencils, or
other articles which may be given the child
for its amusement, of the articles used in
! giving IL food or drink, and OF the remnants
Of such food or drink. Everything that has
touched the patients lips, or that has bean
touched by anything that has touched the
phtleDts lips, Is dangerous
When convalescence has set 10 do not

patient 10 be allowed to see his friends or 10

at the loDg-continued confinement. Above
all things do not under the excuse OF giving

some other place to complete his recovery
you might send dynamite about the country
with scarcely more risk Do not send the
child back 10 school in less than six weeks
after the attack; about two weeks after you
are satisfied that he is entirely we'll is a very
good rule.
II the little life is not strong enough to
Withstand the attack. and is cut short, do
not in your grief forget the danger to other
lives which the house and its contents ma >
yet cause. Do no allow sympathizing friends
and playmates to enter; do not have any
funeral ceremonies in the house; treat the
sick room and its contents as being danger
ously infected.
In mild and doubtful cases follow the plan
above indicated as nearly as you can, and bs
sure that all your care and patience will bt
