ent OF meteorological conditions.
(Slill, according to my own experi-
ence, epidemcs IN warm climates
are less extensive, probably because
the germs keep less well in higher
tcmperature).
Locfller recommends the use of
sublimate ! 10000 for gargling; and
the disinfection of clothes, eating
and drinking utensils, etc., by boil
ing watee or steam. The floor ought
to be washed repeatedly with subli-
mate solution 1000; and the walls
cleaned by rubbing with bread
crumb. This last method, introduced
by Esmarch, has been shown by re-
peated experiments TO be very effec-
tual, while it does not spoil the wall
paper or furniture.
However, it would be o strange
illusion to think that in private
houses, disinfection and isolation
could he so exactly carried out as
to prevent any chance of infection.
For this reason Loefller recommends
the treatment of diphtheritic patients
in separate hospital wards. Now,
if this be true for Berlin, (where the
hygienic institutions are most per-
feet, and the disinfectant system
wholly based on the most advanced
scientific experiments) it is still
more so for Honolulu, where such is
not the case. The public has right
to claim that separate place should
be established for the treatment OF
patients with diphtheria (either with
or without member of their family
to nurse them) where they may find
a nurse and physician designed
al hoe.
Other physicians may or may MOI
treat the patients there, but they
should not be obliged to injure thei
private practice by treating diph
liberia, when they often meet will
nothing but ingratitude for thei
pains. DIR. LUTz.
