If the patient is forced to use a bed pan, great care should be exercised that the bed clothes and clothing of the patient are not soiled. If they are they should be immediately changed or at least as soon as practicable. The disposal of the excreta is of vital importance. It should be removed from the sick room immediately. From a hygienic standpoint the fecal matter, urine and sputum should be disinfected with a 10% solution of formalin and allowed to stand for an hour, or by adding bichloride to make a solution of one to one thousand. The fecal matter should be placed in a receptacle and enough hot water added to cover it, then a cup of unslacked lime added and this allowed to stand covered for a couple of hours before throwing into the sewer. The patient confined to the bed should receive proper care. His hands and face should be bathed and he should be given a sponge bath. This may be done without disturbing the patient materially and may add greatly to his comfort. If the incoördination is in the fever family there will be no danger of the patient taking cold, but if it is not a febrile dis-ease, great care must be taken to prevent this complication. Everything possible should be done to add to the comfort of the patient and to create a pleasant and cheerful atmosphere about the sick room.

If subluxations were adjusted as soon as produced there would be no occasion for such considerations, for man would remain immune and there would be no communicable dis-eases. Since subluxations are not always adjusted as soon as produced, but remain and become chronic and dis-ease is allowed to gather great momentum before adjustments are given, it becomes necessary to bring about an adaptation educationally to the incoördination. During the course of the dis-ease certain hygienic measures should be used in order to maintain a proper environmental condition.
