Laymen frequently ask how
nurses and doctors work in hos

in the meticulous care that has
been mentioned In the Durand
Hospital of the John Mccormick
Institute for Infectious Diseases a
definite routine has been followed
for many years to prevent infec-
tons with diphtheria and scarlet
fever among the nurses.
Special attention is given to
maintaining a high degree OF
cleanliness Of the patients, their
rooms and surroundings. The
general health of each nurse Is
| watched closely. Each week speci-
, mems of the secretions are taken
from the nose and throat. and
studies are made of the bacteria
thus found.
Whenever a nurse attends a pa
tient who has profuse discharge
from the nose and throat or who
otherwise is especially dangerous
by reason of restlessness or cough.
