Medical Officer of Health. Borough of Nottingham. Prevention of Tubercular Consumption- This disease is infectious, and liable to spread among persons living in contact with those suffering from it. Where the lungs are principally affected, the spit of the patients contains most of the poison. This should be received into a vessel containing a strong solution of Carbolic Acid (1 of Carbolic to 40 of Water), and all washing materials and utensils soiled by the patients should be soaked in the same solution before being washed. Consumptive patients should always sleep alone. The rooms of consumptive patients should be aired every day, and disinfected and cleaned at least once a month. In case of the death or removal of any consumptive patient, the Health Department will undertake the disinfection of the infected house and materials. PHILIP BOOBBYER, Guildhall, Nottingham.
