article, as will lysol and other marketed products. The source of a foul smell or dangerous infection should never be overlooked. No disinfectant can offer a safeguard if plumbing is defective, or other unsanitary conditions exist; in fact, disinfectants are often deprecated, since they afford a false sense of security. If a contagious disease exists in a household, other means than the use of a disinfectant must be taken in order to prevent the spread of the contagion. Disinfectants do have their uses, however, and are often essential. In case of an illness of a contagious or infectious nature, a solution of Platt's Chlorides or a similar disinfectant should be kept in all vessels containing or receiving discharges from the body. Pails containing such a solution should be in readiness to receive all cloths, bedding, or washable clothes which have come, in any way, in contact with the patient. FOOTNOTES: [11] The publishers announce this chapter as prepared independent of Dr. Winslow or any of the Advising Editors. Considered as an effort to give helpful information, free of advertising on the one hand and sensational exposures on the other, the article meets with the approval of conservative physicians. But the problems dealt with are too involved at present for discussion direct from the profession to the public. [12] Jacobi, Jour. Am. Med. Assn., Sept. 29, 1906. [13] Ibid. [14] S. H.
