Disinfect the feces and urine by mixing with each evacuation double its
volume of 1 per cent. chlorid of lime solution or double its volume of
5 per cent. carbolic acid solution. Cover the vessel and allow it to
stand for from one to two hours before emptying its contents into the
closet.
Put all typhoid linens in cans used for that purpose only. Sprinkle
with formalin and keep covered until sent to laundry.
N. B.—While performing work in which the hands come in contact with
soiled linen and bed-pans, fill finger-nails with soap to keep them
clean and to prevent them from acting as carriers of disease.
