the patient.

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, or Carbolic Acid,

been emptied. A good plan is to burn from a quarter to half a pound

previously closed. The room should remain closed for twenty-four
hours.
