of Condy's Fluid, or of Carbolic Acid, should stand in the
room for the reception of all bed and 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, or
Carbolic Acid, and should afterwards be washed and boiled, or
burnt.
12.—The room should be thoroughly disinfected after it
has been emptied. A good plan is to burn from a quarter to
half a pound of brimstone in an iron dish, supported over a pail
of water in the middle of the room, the doors, windows, and
other outlets having been previously closed. The room should
remain closed for twenty-four hours.
