Guarding Against Infectious Diseasas. For nurses and others coming in contact with patients suffering from diseases like diphtheria, scarlet fever, measles, epidemic meningitis, poliomyelitis, and pnouinonia, the Memorial In- ■ stituto for Infectious Diseases, Chicago, has adopted a face mask. Dr. Georgo 11. Weaver describes this in the journal of the American Medical Association as. a "double thickness of gauze, so shaped as to fit closely over the face from tho chin well up over the nose and held in place by two tapes tied behind the head." Dr. Weaver reports that since tho adoption of those masks there have been scarcely any cases of nurses contracting diseases from patients or of cross-infec-tion between patients. The masks are never worn twico until sterilised and washed and arc always replaced by fresh ones the moment they become contaminated or moist. Attacks of tonsilitis, pharyngitis, and rhinitis, which were common before tho masks came into use, have practically disappeared. The mask acts as a chield against the germs of thoso diseases, tho portal of entrance- of which is through the nose and mouth. It must bo remembered that one snooze can scatter the germs of scarlet fever, mcaslos, consumption, or pneumonia through many cubic yards of air. The gauze mask is a simple and effective precaution, Mr. and Mrs. It. C. Tennent (Invcrcargill) are visiting their son, Mr. R. V. Temiont at Stratford. .
