infected through filthy expectoration
! habits OF patient resident therein,
J DR.. Macklem proceeds to set down his
rules, some Of which are as follows:
II is essential to observe reg
ular and temperate habits and
modes OF living. A shiftless vaga-
bond. exposed to the elements.
depending on the kindness OF char
ity, or society rake living in the
excess OF oyer-abundance, will be
! more likely TO contract tubercu-
losis than will active. Industrious
and sober individuals.
Violent exercise or over exer-
/ ton retards recovery and is dan
gerous TO tuberculous patients.
Fatigue, when induced In persons
still having active diseas 2, Is sure
TO be followed by loss Of appetite,
fever, exhaustion and often sweat
ing I will inform you as to the
amount of exercise you should
| take.
Sleep In the open air. Live In
the open air. Be In the open air
all the time. Dress so you will be
comfortable In so doing. Neither
the cough, night sweats and not
even hemorrhage of the lungs con-
traindicate full exposure to
fresh air
A consumptiye should have his
own bed, and. n possible. his
own room. The rooms should be
cleaned daily Out, to prevent the
raising Of dust, all busting must
be done with damp cloths, and be-
fore sweeping, doors must be we'll
sprinkled with saw dust, small
scraps Of paper or tea leaves, all
thoroughly molstened Unwash-
able hangings and upholstered
furniture, az well as other objects
| that facilitate the haiboring OF
{ germs, should be removed from
the sick ROOM
