could chew. They were of all colors except

HOW TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION

by isolation and the proper care OF the
consuInptive patient. It is recognized
that a patient can infect one hundred
healthy persons. and that the first step
is to prevent the spread OF consumption
by hose infected with the germs. This
is done by instructions in disinfectiOn
of the sputum, or spit As this sputum
contains millions of germs the necessity
of using the utmost care in its disin-
lection is readily recognized. This may
be done by burning. by the use of a
solution of bichlOTide or a solution OF
foTlnaldehyde. The patient should dis
infect the discharge from the tubercular
wounds and cavities as well. The care
of the sputum. however. is one of the
greatest Importance, as the spread OF
tuberculosis Is brought about almost en-
tirely in that way. This care is neces-
sary not only TO prevent the spread of
the disease but Is also necessary to the
cure of the patient II he Is careless

not he will reinhale the germs and
spread them all over both lungs.
This sputum may be destroyed in sew
eral ways. In the room OF every consump-
tive there should be a metal or china yes
sci for him to spit in. This should contain
a solution of bichloride or formaldehyda.
When the spUtum touches either OF

he had wormed, wagged. and barked his

there was nothing for it but paddle
back. The brokerl-hearted rascal had
swum the river and secured the woods

wild yelp of joy, and never again would
he permit one of the party to enter the
boat without following suit. so great
was his fear of getting left.
