Attempts to prevent or limit the pregnancy streaks prove futile. There is a common belief that they may be prevented by the use of vaselin, goose-grease, mutton-fat, or some one of a variety of lotions; but this teaching is not borne out by experience.
This should be made near the register or stove; and the lap of the nurse should be covered with a small flannel blanket. The baby's body will be found to be covered over with a white, greasy, somewhat cheesy substance; some sort of grease is needed for its removal; rendered lard, sweet oil, and lanolin are the best; vaselin is less effective.
Two ounces of aromatic spirits of ammonia. 15. Two ounces of aqua ammonia. 16. One pint of alcohol. 17. Two tubes sterilized white vaselin. 18. Plenty of large and small safety-pins. 19. Hot-water bag. 20. New fountain syringe, to hold four quarts; with glass nozle. 21. One small basin for vomited matter. 22.
The nozle to be used is the smallest one that comes with the syringe, the so-called infant's nozle; this is quite large enough, and its insertion is not nearly so painful as the larger ones; the nozle must be well greased with vaselin.
Bobbin for tying the Cord. A Pair of Obstetrical Leggins. A small jar of White Vaselin. A cake of Castile Soap. A two-ounce Medicine Glass. A Medicine Dropper. A bent glass Drinking Tube. The following articles should be in the house, ready for use. An ample supply of Towels, Sheets, and Gowns. A new Hand-Brush; the cheap variety with wooden back and stiff bristles is preferable.
Local Treatment. The absorption of a subcutaneous gumma is often hastened by the application of a fly-blister. When a gumma has broken on the surface and caused an ulcer, this is treated on general principles, with a preference, however, for applications containing mercury or iodine, or both. If a wet dressing is required to cleanse the ulcer, black wash may be used; if a powder to promote dryness, one containing iodoform; if an ointment is indicated, the choice lies between the red oxide of mercury or the dilute nitrate of mercury ointment, and one consisting of equal parts of lanolin and vaselin with 2
Two tubes of sterilized white vaselin. 9. Two soft towels. 10. Castile soap. 11. Single-bulb syringe; so-called "eye and ear syringe." 12. A woolen shawl or wrap.
After its removal, which is readily accomplished by greasing the infant with lard or vaselin before giving the initial bath, it never reappears. A varying amount of hair covers the head of the infant.
