250 THE inKALTH BULLETIN tempts to take the cure without a physician's aid. The rules adaptable to home observance are: Out-of-Door Life and Rest. Patients must be in the fresh air from 8:30 a. m. to 12:00 m. and from 1:30 to 5:00 p. m. Exercise as ordered must be taken between the hours of 8:30 and 10:30 a. m. and 4:00 and 5:30 p. m. No violent exercise, such as running, jumping, playing ball, dancing, etc., is allowed. Patients must be on their recliners from 10:30 a. m. to 12:15 p. m. From 1:30 to 3:30 p. m. shall be observed at rest hour, during which time each patient must lie quietly in bed. There must be no noise, no talking, no writing and no visiting. Patients will not be allowed to see visitors at rest hour. Expectoration and Cough. If all patients would dispose of their sputum properly and would shield their mouths and noses when they cough or sneeze, tuberculosis would become almost an unknown disease. Patients should learn the following precautions so well that it will become second nature to follow them. Patients are provided with sputum cups into which they will expectorate. They must not expectorate on the floor, in the fireplace, on the ground, or anywhere else except in a sputum cup. These sputum cups must be changed once each day and placed in the receptacles provided for them. They must not be left carelessly around, or thrown in the fireplace, around the grounds or along the roadways. When ready to dispose of the cup, fill it full of sawdust, put in it a small bag ready to be burned. Patients should never swallow their sputum. They, will almost surely contract intestinal tuberculosis if they do 80. A dry cough is useless and injurious. Patients can stop it if they will. Every time one has an inclination to cough, he should choke it back by main force, and after three or four days of real effort the cough will almost entirely disappear. Patients must shield their mouths and noses with their gauze when they cough or sneeze. Unless they do this they will send out into the air around them a fine spray which usually contains thousands of the germs of tuberculosis. Others breathing this air will take these germs into their lungs. A new piece of gauze is furnished each patient every morning. Patients are required to place their soiled gauze in the bag provided so that it can be burned. Pocket handkerchiefs are not allowed to be used under any circumstances. General. Whiskey and all other forms of alcohol are strictly forbidden. The use of tobacco in any form-smoking, chewing, dipping snuff—is absolutely prohibited. Patients must not take any medicine whatever except when it is ordered by one of the Sanatorium physicians. Promiscuous eating between meals is not allowed. Eat nothing at all for at least an hour and a half before meals. Eat very little candy, and eat none at all except just after meals. Patients should cleanse their teeth thoroughly at least twice each day with a brush, using the antiseptic mouth wash provided for that purpose. Be cheerful. Don't allow yourself to get "the blues." It makes you worse. Don't tire your fellow patients with your symptoms and your troubles. "A careless spitter with a little cough is a dangerous citizen."
