8.—A pail, also containing solution of chloride of lime
or Condy's fluid, should stand in the room for the
reception of all bed or body-linen after removal
from the person of the patient.
9.—All glasses, cups, and other utensils should be
scrupulously cleaned before being used by others.
10.—The hands of the nurse should be washed with
carbolic acid soap, and rinsed in water containing
Condy's fluid; her dress should be of cotton.
11.—All articles of dress in use by the nurse or patient,
and all articles of a like kind liable to be infected,
should, before they are removed from the room in
which the patient lies, be put into a solution of
chloride of lime or Condy's fluid, and should afterwards
be washed and boiled, or burnt.
12.—The room should be thoroughly disenfected after
it has been emptied. A good plan is to burn an
ounce or two of brimstone on a hot brick in the
middle of the room, the door, windows, and other
outlets having been previously closed.
