'IsoLATING THE SICK
HOW SPREADING OF CONTAGIOUS
DISEASE Is PREVENTED.
Upholstered Furniture, Draperies and
Carpets Should Be Removed From
Room and Everyone Excluded
Except Doctor and Nurses.

In this day of sanitation 1t seems use
less to say anything on the care of con-
tagious diseases, but the family of a
patient is often ignorant of the precau-
tions that should be taken.
Contagious and infectious diseases
cannot be too quickly isolated in order
to prevent their further spread. As
early as possible the patient should be
0put in a suitable room that may be
veil aired and kept separate from the
other part of the house.
Everything should be removed that
is not absolutely necessary for patient
and nurse. especially upholstered furni-
ture or draperies. There should be no
carpets. Mating that may be removed
and burned will serve. Pictures and
decorations should also be removed un-
less they are to be burned when the
case is finished.
Only plain wooden chairs and tables
should be used. The bedstead. bed and
bedding should be such that they may
be soaked in disinfectants or burned.
The doors to the room should be kept
closed as much as possible, and the
doorway should be further guarded by
a sheet, so hung that 1t covers the en-
tire space before the door. This should
be wet every few minutes-kept wet
constantly with disinfecting solution.
II possible, the room adjoining the
sick room should be given to the use
of the nurse. There should be sheets
at the doors, and 1t should be prepared
in the same manner as the sick room.
SO that it may be disinfected. Here
the nurse should eat. sleep, change her
clothing and disinfect herself before
going into any other part Of the house
or out of doors.
Only the doctor and the nurse should
have access to the room. II any visit
ors or members of the family enter 1t
their bodies, also the hair. in a disin-
fecting solution and disinfect their
clothing. Such solutions should be
abundantly supplied about the sick
rpom. All articles like clothing and
Ddishes taken from the room should
first be disinfected. The clothing
should afterward be washed separate
from the other clothing of the family.
For handkerchiefs the patient may use
pieces of old soft muslin. which may be
burned.
All articles should be brought to the
door Of the sick room, and those that
have been disinfected taken away from
the sick room by servants. SO that the
nurse does not go through the house.
The sick room should be we'll warmed.

At the termination of an attack the
patients body \and hair should be

fresh clothing put on before mingling

furnishings soaked In disinfecting solu-
