Preventive Measures.

After carefully considering the article
on the History and Nature of Tubercu-
losis or Consumption, in u last issue,
it becomes comparatively easy to under
stand the following:
OFFICE OF II SECRETARY oF TIIE STATE
BOARD OF HEALTH.
AS to measures taken by persons who
inherit tendencies to consumption:
Such persons should lead equable and
temperate lives in all respects.
Much care should be exercised in
selecting occupations for life, and such
occupations as wild provide for much
outdoor life Of the individual should be
preferred; certain occupations that re-
Quirc indoor life and exposure to irrita-
ting dusts should be avoided.
The home of the individual should be
selected with care, built upon high, dry
soil, with large airy rooms
The food of the individual should be
also selected with care, be wholesome
aud abundant, and properly cooked.
this does not imply that it should be
necessarily luxurious or expensive.
Such persons should not marry into
families inheIiting the same predisposi'
ton as themselves, and should avoid, as
much as possible, aIl exposures liable 10
impair the general health.
As to the precautions to be taken by
those who are affected with the disease
and those who come in contact with and
take care Of such; Persons affected with
this disease should occupy sleeping
apartments by themselves, and under
no circumstances should healthy persons
be permitted to occupy the same bed
with them.
The greatest care should be exercised
in the disposition of all sputa or expec,
torated matter, which matter should be
collected in bits of cloth, or paper, anG
immediately burned, or 1t should be
deposited into cups, or other recepta'
cles, containing a solution of carbOlit
acid zone part of carbolic acid crystals
to about fifteen parts Of water
Under no circumstance should such
persons expectorate about rooms, il
streets or highways, in railway or street
cars, or in vehicles of any sort. Great

care should be taken that none of this
eSpectorated matter be allowed to be-
come dry, for it has been positively
proven that these dry germs remain
alive and active for several months.
All receptacles used by such patients
should be cleansed with boiling water.
Discharges from the bowels of patients
thus affected should also be treated with
a disinteCtant, as above described, and
the clothing and bedding Of such
patients should be Hundred separately
and thoroughly boiled.
The sweeping of rooms occupied by
such patients should be with a damp
broom, and the dust removed from the
furniture with a cloth wet with.the dis
injecting solution above described.
The disease may be transmitted by
kissing, especially kissing upon the
mouth.
Mothers affected with the disease
should not nurse their children, as by
this practice the disease may be COM
municated to the child.
1t should be remembered that there
is no danger in assoclating with persons
affected with consumption, or allowing
them to go abroad, if the precautions
herein enumerated are taken; the dis
ease is not conveyed by the breath. 1t
is also to be remembered that many
cases of consumption, in the early
stages, are durable.
Under all circumstances, persons
affected with this disease should have
all of the sunlight and pure air that it is
possible for them to have.
Rooms that have been occupied by
persons suffering from consumption for
some length of time, or in which such
persons have died, should be thoroughly
diginfected before being occupied by
others under the direction of a Board
of Health or a competent physician.
