SICK ROOMS, Cautions in
Visiting. — Never enter a sick room

the body becomes cold, it may absorb
the infection or disease. — Do not visit a
sick person with an empty stomach, as

where the air passes from the door or
window to the bed of the diseased.

with fresh air, it is not noxious. — The
windows of a sick room, small and con-
fined, should not be closed ; if the wind
is cold, nearly close the curtains of the
bed. — Remove all dirty cloths, clothes,
and discharges, as soon as possible. —
Let the visitor have about His person
camphor, &c. — After leaving an infec-
tious room, a person should continue in
