Suggestions for Sick Rooms.

A large. sunny room should be Sc
lccted for the invalid; if without a car
pet, so much the better Sunshine as
disinfectant is worth bushels of chic
ride of lime.
The bed linen should be changed at
least once in three days; the blankets
once week, those that have been re-
moved being hung In the open air for q
few hours, then thoroughly aired in q
warm room.
The room should be kept thoroughly
ventilated and at temperature not
lower than 68 dogs. or higher than 20
dogs. If the patient is kept warm, air
may be freely admitted without the
least danger.
The carpet of sick room should be
lightly b ,ushed once day with n wetted
broom. The furniture and woodwork
should be wiped with a damp cloth
Dry busters and feather brushes are
worse than useless.
The cross sheet should invariably be
kept free from crumbs and wrinkles, as
I no e are frequent cause of bed sores.
Nheneyer the least redness shows on
the patients body the skin must be at
orce bathed with alcohol, thoroughly
dried and busted with powdered oxide
of zinc. 4.
A sheet folded once lengthwise, laid
across the bed, with the upper edge
just touching the pillows and the ends
tightly tucked Hnder the mattress, VIII
be found to add greatly to the patients
comfort. 1t does not wrinkle like q
single sheet, and crumbs may be read
ily brushed off it.
The nurses dress should invariably
be neat, tasteful and pretty. Slippers
or boots of felt should be worn. To be
continually smoothing the bed, poster
ing the patient with sympathy and say
ing dozen times an hour, How do
you feel now ?" is enough to drive a sick
man wild.
Meals for invalids should look as
tempting as possible. The tray should
he covered with the whitest napkin,
and the silver, glass and china should
shine with cleanliness. The patient
should not be disgusted by display of
too much food and should not be con-
suited beforehand as to what he will
eat or drink.
