Once a week each prisoner's blankets and clothes are passed through the disinfecting chamber and thoroughly sterilised. Thanks to this precaution, there is not a trace of vermin to be found in the camp. Ten Turkish barbers are occupied in cutting the hair of prisoners and shaving them in a well-managed barber's shop. The latrines are clean and numerous enough.
Prisoners get plenty of soap and wash their own linen on wooden tables arranged under water taps. Two high-pressure steam disinfecting chambers serve the camp, and once a week all blankets are passed through them. The camp contains no fleas, lice, or bugs. The day latrines are 100 yards from the living quarters. They are of the Turkish kind, with movable tubs 1 tub for every 10 men.
Then the chart-nurse and the probationer who had been banished with the tray, came bustling back with towels, and razors, and a soapy solution in a basin, having a carbolic smell. Dr. Saxham had gone to take a disinfecting bath, the nurse said, as she went about her minute preparations; and the Commanding Officer had gone with the Staff, and now her poor dear must let himself be got ready.
I was somewhat puzzled, as I could see no rational explanation of the relation between disinfecting incubator walls and the hatchability of the chick in its germ-proof cage. Finally I hit upon the scheme of arranging the hatches by dates and the explanation became at once apparent.
They would have known, also, that chloride of lime is not a medicine to be taken internally, but that it is very useful for disinfecting offensive apartments, and that its tendency, when properly used, would be to counteract the cause of the disease which they so much dreaded.
"If poetry does not solve questions that seem so important," said Yartsev, "you should turn to works on technical subjects, criminal law, or finance, read scientific pamphlets. What need is there to discuss in 'Romeo and Juliet, liberty of speech, or the disinfecting of prisons, instead of love, when you can find all that in special articles and textbooks?"
These are usually serious but their spread may be largely prevented by keeping the sick person alone, except for the necessary nurses, quarantining the house and disinfecting everything when the period of infection is past. In this class are smallpox, diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, mumps, chicken-pox and whooping-cough.
"Go down to your breakfast, Miss Searight," said the doctor. "I'll stay here the while. The housekeeper will show you to your room." But before breakfasting Lloyd went to the room the housekeeper had set apart for her a different one than had been occupied by either of the previous nurses changed her dress, and bathed her face and hands in a disinfecting solution.
If there is anything wrong with us it is the general's own fault if it isn't found out. When a general is not inspecting, some man from the medical corps is disinfecting." Battalions of the new army are frequently billeted for two or three days in our village. The barn up the road I know is capable of housing twenty men and one officer, for this is chalked on .the door.
"That, sir," said the man, "is Barker's Carbolic Disinfecting Door-mat. I am Barker, and this is the mat. I invented it, and it's a big thing." "Is id thad thad smells so thudderig bad?" asked the major, with his nostrils tightly shut. "Yes, sir; smells very strong, but it's a healthy smell. It's invigorating. It braces the system. I'll tell you "
