STERILIZATION AND DISINFECTION. 105 



the disinfective measures have been adopted, and after 

 this, touching, and especially kissing him, should be 

 omitted for some time. 



The dead who die of infectious diseases should be 

 washed in a strong disinfectant solution, and should be 

 given a private funeral in which the body, if exposed, 

 should not be touched. In my judgment, the body 

 is best disposed of by cremation.
