the right lower limb of Claud King, who
was severely hurt at the factory Of w.
Duke Sons & Co., some time ago BY be-
ing caught on shafting, was amputat-

Matters Mothers Should but All Do Not
Understand.
After case Of measles, recently, the
physician called to assure himself that
all was we'll, and TO make sure disin-
lection had been thorough. The moth
er Of the child had listened to instruc-
tions with one ear, while the other was
bent upon the coming of carriage
wheels to take her shopping. She
knew all about it, and SO when ques-
toned by the medical man. she re-
piled: "Oh, yes; burned teaspoonful
Of sulphur, and sprinlkled the floor
with copperas and carbolic, and washed
the walls with borax, and had the
maid put all the bedding in the tub,
aud aired the blankets. and shook the
rugs, and spilled some camphor over
the mattress, and gave the children
good scrubbing with ammonia in the
water. But Dick doesn't seem to feel
quite SO well to-day and Nellie is
dropping "
The doctor listened aghast as this
lingo Of disinfection. Poor Dick took
cold and was very i'll, and Nellie serious
ly demonstrated her mothers perfect
knowledge OF ''how to disinfect."
The use Of half dozen disinfectants
st once shows ignorance at the outset.
Few chemicals are valuable as disin.
tectants, and Of these only such are
worth anything as are intelligently ap-
piled. Some persons think anything
with an odor is sufficient. Quite the
contrary. Corrosive sublimate, one OF
the best for killing microbes, has little
or no odor. Sulphur is only reliable
when its fumes are very strong and
they permeate every fiber Of material
and every crevice Of an infected room
or its furniture. Three pounds Of
powdered sulphur are necessary ia
thoroughly fumigate an ordinary
sized room. Every crevice should be
tightly closed, and any draperies
which were not taken down be.
fore the case progressed should
be spread out over temporary line
or on chairs. The fumes should reach
the remotest part OF wnateverlS In the
room. The sulphur should be put into
IN iron pan, placed in a tub with water
In the bottom to prevent fire. and then
ignited with live coal. The room
should be left closed for at least TWEEN.
ty-four hours and well aired afterward.
Sunlight and air are about as essen
tial to disinfection after disease as IL
medicine TO recovery, 1t must be re.
membered that, owing to the vitality
Of the contagion Of disease, infection Is
most liable where rooms are badly ven
tilated and health is not at par. Disin,
lection is often ineffetual because inn.
perfect, and consequently should be
well understood before being attempt
ed. II disinfection was perfectly un'
derstood, disease would ere long b
stamped out, for there would not be Q
second case. Isolation is the great pre-
cautionary measure, and when the
least suspicion Of serious trouble Il
present, there should be no hesitation
In secluding the patient until positiv.
diagnosis can be obtained.-N. Y
