PART III. 

 THE DESTRUCTION 



OF 



DISEASE GERMS; 



AND THE 



TREA TMENT OF DISEASES CA USED 

 B Y THEM. 



|HE first object of everyone who aims at the 

 prevention of the spread of contagious diseases, 

 must be to destroy the contagious particles 

 before they , can spread far from the organism in 

 which they have been produced. As we know that 

 millions of active germs have grown and multiplied 

 in the body of the sick person, and that up to this 

 time we are powerless to prevent this multiplication, 

 our efforts must be directed to the object of destroy- 

 ing these living particles as soon as possible after 

 they have been formed. 



The sick person suffering from contagious disease 

 should be isolated. The nurses and attendants should 

 be as few as possible, consistent with the interests of 

 the sick, and these attendants, for the time, should 

 communicate as little as- possible with other persons.
