When typhoid fever is prevalent, the most reliable _preventive measures_ consist in thorough boiling of all water and milk used for drinking purposes and the avoidance of uncooked vegetables, oysters, and shell-fish. =Management.=—Unless otherwise directed take _temperature_, _respiration_, and _pulse_ every three hours, in mouth or axilla, as desired. If for any reason a change is made in taking temperature, it should be noted on the chart. Note the effect of _sponging_ or of _bathing_ upon temperature and pulse. Note the character of pulse, and effect, if any, which stimulants have had upon it. Note the amount of _cough_, and the character and quantity of the _expectoration_; also any pain that may occur in the chest. Note the amount of _flatulence_ and the number and character of the _stools_; especially be on the lookout for blood or undigested food in the discharges. Note carefully any _abdominal pain_, any _increase in the distention_, as these symptoms, with or without a rather abrupt _fall in temperature_, _chills_, and _pinched features_, are suggestive of perforation. =Treatment for Hemorrhage.=—Stop all orders immediately, including diet. Elevate the foot of the bed. Give morphin sulphate, gr. ¼ (gm. 0.015), hypodermically, and apply an ice coil or iced compresses to the abdomen until the physician arrives. Note the occurrence of _vomiting_ and the character of vomit. Be on the lookout for retention of _urine_, which is quite common. Note the amount of urine passed in a day and any abnormalities connected with its appearance. Note the condition of the _skin_ and _tongue_. Note the amount of _sleep_, its character, whether quiet or restless and whether or not there have been delirium, stupor, or twitching of the muscles. Note the exact amount and character of _nourishment_ taken, and the time it was given; also the amount, time of administration, and effect of _medicines_ and _stimulants_. Cleanse the mouth and teeth frequently with some antiseptic wash, such as listerine, 1 part; water, 3 parts. Bed-sores can nearly always be prevented by keeping the patient and bedding perfectly clean, the skin absolutely dry, and the bed-linen smooth. Changes of position are also important. Parts subjected to pressure and soiling should be washed at least twice daily with soap and water, thoroughly dried, gently rubbed with alcohol, and then dusted with a powder like the following: Boric acid, 1 part; Starch, 1 “ Zinc oxid, 1 “ If the skin be reddened and tender it may be painted with collodion and then dusted. When the part cannot be kept dry, it should be smeared with zinc ointment and powdered. In very prolonged cases it usually becomes necessary to use water- or air-pillows or water- or air-beds.
