SCARLET FEVER. After Scarlet Fever the sick person
will require anointing all over, not forgetting the hair, and
warm disinfecting baths at the discretion of the doctor. He
is not safe from after consequences, and is a source of
danger to others, until the skin has done "peeling."
HOUSE DISINFECTION. Disinfect drains, sinks,
water-closets, dust bin, &c., daily; and air the house by
keeping open windows.
ON RECOVERY FROM ANY INFECTIOUS DISEASE,
however slight the illness, the patient should not leave the
sick room to mingle with the family, or go out of the house,
without the consent of the doctor, nor without bathing,
change of clothing, &c.
SHOULD THE ILLNESS END FATALLY, the body
should be placed as soon as possible in a coffin, containing a
layer of sawdust, o which has been added a pound of
Carbolic or Sanitas Powder. The lid should be at once
screwed down, and burial should take place quickly.
PUBLIC MORTUARY. A Mortuary has been erected
in the parish churchyard, behind the Vestry Hall, to which
it is recommended that all infectious dead bodies should be
removed. In certain cases, viz., when there is danger to
the health of the living, any Justice may, by order, on a
certificate signed by a medical practitioner, direct the removal
of a dead body to the mortuary. Application for permission
to deposit a body, and for further information, to be
made at the offices of the Sanitary Department, at the Town Hall.
