PREVENTION OF THE SPREAD OF CONTAGIOUS OR
INFECTIOUS DISEASES.

THE Provincial Board of Health of Ontario, Canada,
has issued the following instructions concerning the
measures to be adopted in preventing the spread of
scarlet fever, diphtheria, small-pox, &c. :---

These diseases are spread by means of infectious
particles going from person to person, and can be
stopped if care and systematic means are taken to
destroy the disease-germs, and to prevent their being
carried from one person to another.

Those parts of the body which are the breeding
places of the contagious particles give off the poison
in the greatest amount; for example :

In scarlet fever, the mouth, throat, nasal passages,
and skin;

In diphtheria, the mouth, throat, and nasal passages;

In small-pox, the pustules, chiefly of the skin;

In measles, the skin and air-passages;

In whooping-cough, the air-passages;

In typhoid fever and cholera, the discharges from
the bowels,
