2. The Medical Officer’s room should be on the ground floor at the entrance and apart from everything else. The servant or whoever cleans the room, should not be a Ward-Orderly, (ward-attendance cannot be kept too entirely separate from all other concerns). [Sidenote: Water-Closets.] 3. The ward water-closet should have a pane of glass at top, so that a faint gas-light in the lavatory at night can light sufficiently the closet, and the (bed-pan) sink. The water-closet should be constructed, as is done often in those of English railway stations, so that each visitor involuntarily, on rising or on opening the door, purifies the concern. Besides the ward water-closet, there should be general water-closets, and urinals separate from the wards, for the use, during the day, of those patients who can leave the wards. The latrines at the Lariboisière Hospital are a good example, both for what should be avoided in construction, and what should be imitated in position. The sort of latrine used there would never do for England. The men able to go out are expected to use by day an urinal in a corner of the little garden belonging to each pavilion. At night no sick men are allowed to leave the ward on that or any other pretence; they must use the latrines. The latrines are at the furthest end of the ward. Opposite the one door is a partially glazed door, beyond this is a large window, grated in network as well as with panes and frame. On one side opens a space where the men, able to get up, are expected to wash, and which, moreover, contains two latrines, each separated by a partition and secured by a door. The same arrangement prevails on the female side. The rule of having the water-closet on the furthest side of the ward, removing all pretence of leaving the ward by night, is excellent. [Sidenote: Warm and Cold-Water Supply.] 4. The importance, immense addition of efficiency, and ultimate economy of carrying warm and cold water into every ward, and the necessity of intending and contriving this in the first construction of a Hospital,--subsequent additions and alterations being generally less effectual, and always more expensive--cannot too frequently be repeated. [Sidenote: Corridors.] 5. Corridors as proposed at Netley are useful and objectionable. They lie between one side of the wards and air. They make oversight of the patients more difficult; and when a number of patients are walking up and down them, the serious cases in the wards are disturbed. On the other hand, it is desirable to have some place of exercise and yet shelter for patients, capable of being heated and of being overlooked. There ought to be no accumulation of patients at the same time suffered. With regard, however, to corridors inside the building, if there are none it is all the better for the sick; that each ward should have two rows of large windows opening direct into the outer air is indispensable, as has often been said already.
