(1.) Do not use Sanitary sewers and Closets until notified by the
Board of Health. Even if the hollywater system is on, the sewers are
full of mud and will clog. Burn or bury all excreta garbage and filth.
Add lime and bury deep. Use disinfectant in out-door trenches also.
(2.) Thoroughly scrub, clean and dry your cellar. Keep your cellar
windows open. Remove and burn or bury all rubbish. Sprinkle lime
around cellar, especially in damp places. Sprinkle floor with
disinfectant sent herewith (two tablespoons-full to one quart of
water.)
(3.) Thoroughly clean your in and out door premises.
(4.) Place concentrated lye or a tablespoon of disinfectant in each
sink or trap in toilet, basement and kitchen. Allow to stand over
night. Do this every evening.
(5.) Boil all water, even holly water, and thoroughly cook all food.
Boil all cooking utensils. Do this for months to come.
(6.) Do not enter houses which have been flooded until thoroughly
cleaned and dried.

Do these things to avoid pestilence and sickness.
Do it for yourself.
Do it for Dayton.
Take care of yourself and you will take care of Dayton.
