MUST BE ABSOLUTELY CLEAN
Hands of Surgeon, Before Performing
Operations, Are Washed in Most
Thorough Manner.

Most people attribute the immense
ly decreased rate of mortality in cases
of severe surgical operations to the
increased skill Of the profession, to
their greatly improved instruments,
and the more skilful nursing which is
obtained in these days. But the sur
geon himself would tell you that it
is almost all matter of absolute
cleanliness, the fact that nothing is
left undone to insure absolute free
dom from infection of any kind. This
fact is emphasized by the extraordi-
nary hand-washing regulations which
are in force at the various hos
pitfalls. Everybody who is even re-
motely connected with an approach
ing operation is supposed to spend
20 minutes in the all-imporant proc
ess of washing his hands.
For five minutes the surgeon
washes his hands with soap and wa
ter, and then cleans his fnger-nails.
When he has done this he spends
another five minutes doing it all over
again. But this is but preparation
for third and far more drastic alb
luton, for this time he must wash
his hands in alcohol. Not content with
this cleansing process, he must now
put his hands through process Of
sterilization by soaking them for at
least five minutes in a wash of corro-
sive sublimate. By that time he may
commence his duties, which mean life
or death to some patient, with the sat-
isfactory feeling that he has done
his best to approach his task with
clean hands.
