Unlimited hot and cold water supply, day and night, should be laid on
all over the buildings.
All drains and sewers must be kept outside the walls of the buildings,
and great care should be bestowed on trapping and ventilating them, to
prevent foul air passing into the institution.
The washing in a lying-in institution is, it need not be said, very
large, and should be conducted quite at a distance. Sink-baths, for
immediately putting in water soiled linen, are necessary.
