manner as for typhoid fever, that is
by boiling, the long continued appli-
cation of 8 per cent. carbolic, or 9TH

same is true for dishes and drinking
vessels. Nurses should exercise the
same precautions as regards cleanli-
ness of hands in caring for infantile
paralysis patients as for those afflicted
with other infectious disea ses.
A child may convey the disease to
others even after a lapse of several
weeks. For this reason quarantine
should be maintained for a considera-
bic period, usually from six to eight
weeks, and the above precautions
should be adhered to during this time.
Distinction of the room following re-
covery is advisable.
