Normal saline, drop method, by rectum, will promote diuresis, skin action, and supply the body with the much needed fluid. Subinvolution is controlled by ergot in full doses. The room must be light and as many windows opened as the weather will permit. Frequent change of posture, from side to side, from dorsal to prone and especially to the half-sitting position, will give the patient comfort and prevent decubitus (bed sores). The daily bath with an alcohol rub, keeps the skin in good condition and eases the mind. The child should be taken from the breast, because the milk is poor in quality and quantity and it may be infectious. Besides, the mother needs all her strength. Nature usually solves the problem by drying up the milk. All pads soiled by the patient should be collected in paper bags or rolled in newspapers and burned. Sheets, towels, and pillow slips must be boiled in the house and not sent to the laundry. They should be soaked for half a day in a 2 per cent solution of lysol before being washed, and exposed to the hot sun for a day or so afterward, if possible. No comforts should be used on the bed, and the blankets must be left suspended in the room when it is fumigated at the conclusion of the case. All dishes and utensils can be boiled. Plenty of air and sunshine are essential for the cure of the patient and to prevent the spread of the disease. _The nurse_ must use every precaution to avoid carrying the infection to herself or others. Rubber gloves should be worn while changing the dressing. It is better to have the child cared for by another nurse. The nurse must get her rest and some exercise out of doors every day. It rejuvenates her and reacts to inspire the patient. When she leaves the case the nurse should boil her linen and wash her hair with soapsuds and hot water, and bathe frequently. =Milk Leg.=—This is an infection characterized by swelling of one, or rarely, both, limbs, from the foot to the groin. The leg is white from the edema, and as the condition is associated with fever and since the milk diminishes or disappears about the same time, it was thought in former days that the milk went to the leg. The cause of the swelling is a phlebitis of the external iliac or femoral vein which becomes thrombosed or so filled with clots that the return circulation is impeded. _Symptoms._—The attack is signalized by a rise of temperature to 102° to 104° F. There is headache, pain in the affected limb, and general prostration. It is a true sepsis. The disease appears usually in the latter part of the second week of puerperium, when the patient has begun to congratulate herself that all danger is over. In many cases the doctor has yielded to importunity and let the patient get up before involution was sufficiently advanced and the patient will report that she got up too early.
