Several lessons Of practical value sug-
gest themselves to Captain Palmer from
his experience. They are:
|. That We should use handkerclIefs ono
side of which is conspicuously colcred or
marked so that we may always apply the
hands to one side. reserving the other sido
for the nose. This will protect our own
nose from our hands and help to prevent
the infection Of our hands.
II. That we should abandon the uni
yersal practise OF Shaking hands. substi-
tuting some other less intimate method Of
salutation.
III. That we should encourage means
which Will lessen the opportunity for pub

Drs. Lynch and Cummings evidence that

ence OF one to whom keeping hands out OF
the mouth is second nature. But what of
the person who is unconscious of the hand
to mouth habit? There is no question but
that the hand travels to the mouth more
frequently with the average individual.
There were seven opport unities Of In
fecting the nose with the hand through the
medium Of the handkerchief The influence
OF weather and climate on infection is sug-
gestcd here by the fact that the colder or
more changcable the weather the more
frequently does the nose require attention
and the opportunities for injecting the nose
from the hand increase in proportion
"ln making up this record OF articles
touched by the hands, it should be empha-
sized that only those instances have been
recorded which offered the possibility of
infection through recent handling OF tho
articles by others. Contact with papers,
pencils. ETC.. handled remotely by others
have not been included.
Another point that stands forth is that
our hands are dangerous to others only in
proportion to the frequency with which we
infect them with our mouth and nose. Tho
