Before using either the night-commode, or the pot-de-chambre, let a little water, to the depth of one or two inches, be put in the pan, or pot; in order to sweeten the motion, and to prevent the faecal matter from adhering to the vessel. Let there be frequent change of linen, as in sickness it is even more necessary than in health, more especially if the complaint be fever.
Either a table-spoonful of chloralum, or two tea-spoonfuls of carbolic acid, or two tea-spoonfuls of Condy's fluid, or a tea-spoonful of chloride of lime in a pint of water, are useful to sprinkle the soiled handkerchiefs as soon as they be done with, and before the be washed, to put in the pot-de-chambre, and to keep in saucers about the room; but, remember, as I have said before, and cannot repeat too often, there is no preventative like the air of heaven, which should be allowed to permeate and circulate freely through the apartment and through the house: air, air, air is the best disinfectant, curative, and preventative of scarlet fever in the world!
