The Sickroom

In case of sickness the patient’s room should have in it only the necessary pieces of furniture—bed, one chair and table—no carpets and no draperies. It can then be easily kept clean and sanitary. Scrubbing should take the place of sweeping, and the dusting should be done with a clbtlTVrUhg out of a disinfectant solution. Care used in the sickroom and about'the things used by the patient will have much to do with checking the spread, of disease.
