"Remember to carry out all vessels covered. Empty and wash them immediately, and keep some disinfectant in them.
"Remember that to leave the patient's untasted food by his side, from meal to meal, in hopes that he will eat it in the interval, is simply to prevent him from taking any food at all.
"Medicines, beef tea or stimulants, should never be kept where the patient can see them or smell them.
"Light-colored clothing should be worn by those who have the care of the sick, in preference to dark-colored apparel; particularly if the disease is of a contagious nature. Experiments have shown that black and other dark colors will absorb more readily the subtle effluvia that emanates from sick persons than white or light colors."
