Popular passages
Page 159 - Consumption is a disease which can be taken from others and is not simply caused by colds. A cold may make it easier to take the disease. It is usually caused by germs which enter the body with the air breathed. The matter which consumptives cough or spit up contains these germs in great numbers — frequently millions are discharged in a single day. This matter, spit upon the floor, wall or elsewhere, is apt to dry, become pulverized and float in the air as dust.
Page 159 - It is caused by very minute germs, which usually enter the body with the air breathed. The matter which consumptives cough or spit up contains these germs in great numbers — frequently millions are discharged in a single day. This matter, spit upon the floor, wall or elsewhere, dries and is apt to become powdered and float in the air as dust.
Page 160 - The breath of a consumptive does not contain the germs and will not produce the disease. A well person catches the disease from a consumptive only by in some way taking in the matter coughed up by the consumptive.
Page 161 - Rooms that have been occupied by consumptives should be .thoroughly cleaned, scrubbed, whitewashed, painted or papered » before they are again occupied. Carpets, rugs, bedding, etc., from rooms which have been occupied by consumptives, should be disinfected.
Page 160 - The cup should be emptied into the water closet at least twice a day, and carefully washed with boiling water. Great care should be taken by consumptives to prevent their hands, face and clothing from becoming soiled with the matter coughed up. If they do become thus soiled, they should be at once washed with soap and hot water. Men with consumption should wear no beards at all, or only closely cut moustaches.
Page 160 - If cloths must be used, they should be immediately burned on returning home. If handkerchiefs be used (worthless cloths, which can be at once burned, are far better ) , they should be boiled at least half an hour in water by themselves before being washed. When coughing or sneezing, small particles of spittle containing germs are expelled, so that consumptives should always hold a handkerchief or cloth before the mouth during these acts; otherwise, the use of cloths and handkerchiefs to receive the...
Page 464 - Where there is distension of the gall-bladder by an acute inflammatory process, with obstruction of the common duct by stone. 4. Where there is chronic induration of the head of the pancreas, with a stone in the common duct. 5. Where there is malignant disease of the common duct at any part of its course, or cancer of the head of the pancreas, and a chronic sclerosing cholecystitis.
Page 160 - Consumption can often be cured if its nature is recognized early and proper means are taken for its treatment. In a majority of cases it is not a fatal disease. It is not dangerous for other persons to live with a consumptive, if the matter coughed up by the consumptive is at once destroyed.
Page 83 - The room occupied by the sick person should be thoroughly aired several times daily, and swept frequently, after scattering wet newspapers, sawdust, or tea leaves on the floor to prevent the dust from rising. After sweeping, the dust upon the woodwork and furniture should be removed with damp cloths. The sweepings should be burned, and the cloths soaked in the carbolic solution. In cold weather, the sick person should be protected from draughts of air by a sheet or blanket thrown over his head while...
