Large expenditures are made for this purpose and great faith placed in it, unfortunately to the exclusion of attention to, and reliance on, the infinitely more useful and logical concurrent disinfection, which, properly done, ought almost wholly to displace it. Terminal disinfection should be done following tuberculosis of the lungs, anthrax and plague ; in tuberculosis because of the great numbers and wide distribution of the bacteria thrown out by the patient, especially the careless patient; in anthrax because of the existence of resistant spores possibly attached to furniture, etc. ; in plague because of the intense virulence of the organism and its tendency, like anthrax, to infect directly through the skin. In the ordinary diseases of the temperate zone, however, terminal disinfection cannot for a moment take the place of concurrent disinfection and is unnecessary if t former be properly carried out. METJHODS OF DISINFECTION CONCURRENT DISINFECTION. — The disinfection of infected discharges, and of everything coming into contact with the discharges, whether the discharges be of the nose, mouth, bladder, or bowel, and whether the things which come into con- tact with the discharges be utensils, clothing, hands, furniture, etc., should be done at once, as soon as the discharges appear, or the articles, hands, etc., become contaminated. Bladder and bowel discharges deposited directly in proper sewer-connected toilet-bowls require no disinfectant treatment; but the seat, door-knobs, toilet paper rack, flush pull and so on, which the discharges may reach, directly or through the patient's hands, should receive disinfection every time the toilet is used by such a patient. Where bed-pans or urinals are used and then emptied into such a toilet- bowl, disinfection should be done of the hands of the attendant who empties the pan, of the whole pan itself, and of any part of seat or bowl (not reached by the flush) contaminated by splash or dribbles from the bed-pan or urinal. Where outdoor toilets or indoor toilets not connected with a sewer are in use the discharges must always be disinfected — preferably by half-filling the bed-pan or urinal, before use, with a saturated solution.of milk of lime (unslaked lime, in water, to saturation— cool and pour off the liquid parts) into which the discharges are received. Where such toilets are used by the patient directly, an abundant layer of powdered unslacked lime should cover the discharges as soon as they are de- if the CONTROL OF INFKCTIOTS DISKASKS 859 Sucli layer should be an inch deep. Precautions regarding the- scats, floor- knobs, hands, etc., should be followed as above described. Tin- difficulty in en- forcing these precautions makes fly-screening a better plan. Soiled bed clothing or other clothing, handkerchiefs, etc., may be rolled up and placed directly in boiling water; but if some interval must elapse before they can be boiled, they should be put directly into 5 per cent carbolic acid solution, or o.i of i per cent bichloride of mercury solution or other disinfectant of similar killing power for at least half an hour. Thereafter they may be handled as uninfected clothing. Eating utensils after use should go directly into boiling water for several minutes and then be washed in the ordinary way. Spoons used for medicine, toys, ther- mometers, etc., which it may be inconvenient or impossible to put into boiling water, should be immersed in 5 per cent carbolic acid or o.i per cent bichloride solution for half an hour, then washed. These solutions may be used also for the hands and a large bowl of one or both of them ("carefully labelled, and out of reach of children, etc.) should be constantly ready; into this the patient's and attendant's hands should be dipped after every contamination. Discharges from the nose and mouth should be collected on paper or rags and burned at once. If inconvenient to burn them, they should be dropped into carbolic or bichloride solutions as above, and disposed of as harmless after a half-hour's soaking. It is difficult to specify every form of contact to be guarded against by disin- fection, but the foregoing are the chief ones to watch for, and the principles given should be widely and intelligently applied — remembering always that the dis- charges contain the danger. TERMINAL DISINFECTION. — Sulphur disinfection (4 pounds burned for every 1,000 cubic feet of space, in the presence of steam sufficient to saturate the atmos- phere) is effective for disease bacteria — also for roaches, bedbugs, etc., and for mice, rats, etc. But it injures fabrics by bleaching them, and metals by tarnishing them. Formaldehyde vapor is now used in its place for disinfection; but flies, bedbugs, etc., are not successfully exterminated thus. The most recent approved method for use in the disinfection of houses is the Minnesota State Board of Health potassium permanganate formaldehyde method. For each 1,000 cubic feet of space the following should be used: Potassium permanganate (crystals) 1 1 ounces Solution formaldehyde (U. S. P. 1900) n ounces Water 9 ounces Directions for use: Prepare the room to be disinfected by sealing all cracks, windows, ventilators, etc., and all the doors but the one for exit, with wet newspaper strips; open all blankets, drawers, etc.; separate and open up all books, clothing, etc., in the room. Have wet strips of paper in readiness to seal the last door when the disinfection has been started and the operator has left the room. The windows should be left unlatched so that they may be opened from the outside after the disinfection is completed. 860 MICROBIOLOGY OF DISEASES OF MAN AND DOMESTIC ANIMALS Use a metal pail with lapped (not soldered) seams, or an earthenware receptacle, j holding not less than fourteen (14) quarts, in which to mix the above ingredients. Place the receptacle on bricks standing in a pan of water, but the receptacle should I not touch the water. Place the n ounces of potassium permanganate in the receptacle, distributing it evenly over the bottom. Mix the formaldehyde (n ounces) and the water (9 ounces), and pour this mixture over the potassium permanganate in the receptacle. This done, the operator should leave the room as quickly as possible, sealing the door behind him with the wet strips of paper prepared in advance for this purpose. The directions above apply to the disinfection of a room containing 1,000 cubic feet or less. If a room contains more than 1,000 cubic feet of space, use one of the above disinfecting outfits for each 1,000 cubic feet or fraction thereof. Do not attempt to use a double charge in a container of even double capacity. In disinfecting a whole house, begin with the most distant room and having mixed the potassium permanganate, formaldehyde, and water in the proper re- ceptacle, close the door of the room and seal it at once as directed above. Proceed in this way in the disinfection of all the rooms. Leave the seals unbroken on the window and doors for six hours, after which the rooms should be opened up and thoroughly aired. The temperature of the room at the time of disinfection should not be below 7o°F. No paper, cotton, cloth, wood, or other combustible material should be in or near the disinfecting outfit for fear of fire, and no flame should be permitted in the room near the disinfecting outfit. CARRIAGE OF INFECTION BY BIOLOGICAL AGENTS The transmission of yellow fever and malaria by mosquitoes, in the course of which the parasite causing the disease must undergo a whole series of developmental changes before the mosquito can become infective, is now well understood. But the mechanical carriage of infec- tious material by flies from privy vaults or bed pans or even mucous membranes or open wounds to food and drink or to other mucous membranes or wounds has not been very long established. That typhoid fever and dysentery have many times occurred in epidemic form chiefly by the carriage of the infective agents by flies the writer firmly believes as the result of personal investigation, as well as from the reports of others. Similar mechanical carriage of infection on the outside of the body has been attributed to rats, dogs, cats, even to cows and horses. This must not be confused with the dissemination of certain diseases by horses actually sick with the disease (glanders) or CONTROL OF INFECTIOUS DISEASES 86l carrying the germs in their intestines (tetanus), by cows actually sick of tuberculosis, or by other similar instances of disease derived directly from preceding cases or carriers in the lower animals. Another class of cases where lower animals convey disease by biting, and yet act merely mechanically is instanced by the septicaemia some- times arising from bites of well animals (rats, snakes, mosquitoes, etc.), the bite acting merely to admit to the tissues pathogenic forms acci- dentally present in the animal's mouth or on the skin of the bitten person. These must be distinguished from cases where the animal transmits thus a disease from which it is itself suffering (as when a rabid dog spreads rabies by biting other animals or man) and from true poisoning by injection of animal products at the time of biting (as done by poisonous snakes, mosquitoes, etc.).
