SANITARY HINTS.
Residents in this parish are earnestly requested not to deposit
animal or vegetable refuse in their dust-bins, the decay of such
matters causing offensive smells and injury to health. All such
refuse being, after slight drying behind the fire, combustible in
ordinary grates, may, and should be burned, small quantities being
placed on the lire at a time.
Dust-bins should bo provided with covers and be emptied at least
once a week.
Residents are further requested to keep their cisterns cleaned and
covered ; to cleanse all sinks, drains, closets, traps, and urinals ; and
especially to see that the bell-trap, where used, has a proper bell,
and that all traps are filled with water.
No cistern used for drinking purposes should be placed over a
water-closet, and no waste-pipe should enter any drain.
Water closets should have an independent supply of water.
No drinking water should be kept exposed in a living room.
All drains and soil pipes should be securely trapped with a syphon
trap.
Dust-bins, water-closets, and sinks should he frequently sprinkled
with a disinfectant.
At least 400 cubic feet of space are required for each adult, and
200 feet for a child, and all rooms should be properly ventilated.
Notice should be immediately forwarded to the Inspectors of the
existence of any case or cases of infectious disease, so that the necessary
steps may be taken either for the removal of the patient or the
disinfecting of the room, bedding, and clothes.
Impure air and polluted water being fertile sources of disease,
especially of typhoid fever, diarrlœa, &c., &c., the importance of
observing the above recommendations and instructions is obvious.
