XV Germs In the
Home
Dy EUGENE L. FISK , M. D.
CopyrlKlit , 1910 , by American
arc "BOCM ! germs" and
TIIHKK germs , " just as there are
"good trusts" and "bad trusts. "
"Germ busting" In some rc
ripccts resembles "trust busting. " Pub
licity and the light of day nro sup
posed to bo correctives for bad trusts.
Sunshine and fresh air will uuo.ue.s-
tlonnbly restrain the activities of bail
germs.
An example of a good germ Is the
lactic acid bacillus found In sour milk.
Tablets containing these germs are
mow used in medicine for the treat
ment of Intestinal trouble , It having
been found that they destroy certain
harmful bacteria that flourish in the
Intestines. In fact , the "elixir of life"

However , these lactic acid bacilli are
quite useful and nro also employed in
the treatment of infective processes In
the nose and mouth.
Diiaates Due to Germs.
It is not so long ago only about
fifty years that learned men were
willing to debate about "spontaneous
generation. " It was contended that
the microscopic organisms that were
found In certain fermenting and decomposing -
composing fluids were "spontaneously"

venerated lu the medium where they
were found lu fact , that , like Topsy ,
they "Just growed. "
Germs to Be Feared In the Horn * .
In the tlrst place , germs should not
be feared a parades , If you please.
Itespcct them , but do not fear them.
.4-
- A "sound mind in a sound body" is
. not nn easy mark for germs. But
\ germs have power to Injure those
whose resistance Is temporarily low-
V -crcd by fatigue , exposure or disease
* as well as the naturally feeble and
nonrcslstant.
The principal germ diseases that we
bare to contend with In the home are
scarlet fever , measles , diphtheria ,
whooping cough , smallpox , cholera ,
rlp , pneumonia , tuberculosis , dysen-
tary , typhoid fever and malaria. No
doubt the tlmo will cotno when these
maladies will practically disappear
from civilized communities , as indeed
may almost be said at the present
time of smallpox. But earnest and
faithful work by medical men and
cheerful co-operation by the public arc
necessary to attain that end.
It Is better to prevent germs from
breeding and multiplying than'to de
stroy them ; also it is better to be
germ proof yourself than to rely over
much on expensive methods of destroy
ing them. It is fortunate that fresh
air and sunlight arc health giving In
fluences for humanity and death deal
ing Influences for germs. Darkness ,
dampness , dissipation and dirt all fu
ror the growth of bacteria and also
lower the resistance of the human
body to their action.
Influence of Flies , Mosquitoes , Etc.
It was formerly supposed that flies
were useful scavengers and harmful 1
only from the annoyance they caused
buzzing around one's ears. The great
discovery has been made that , like
many other destructive agents we have
entertained in our homes for thousands
of years , the housefly is a hereditary
enemy. He does not wipe his feet be
fore entering the house , but often uses
, -our food as u doormat He keeps bad
, company , breeds In filth , manure ,
moldy paper , garbage , anything that
rots , and typhoid fever germs are bis
specialty.
The housefly must go , just ns the
old oaken bucket in the barnyard well
has gone ( let us hope ) , and the close ,
stuffy , unventllated bedrooms and oth-
rr long cherished or endured condi
tions that Invite poverty , crime , dls-
i0
1 ease and death. But how shall wo
exterminate this pest , who doesn't be
lieve in rare suicide ? First , destroy
his * breeding ground. Burn up all
paper or rubbish around your farm or
re
doorynrd. Burn or bury all garbage ;
k or refuse. Keep your stable toors !
clean and wash them occasionally with
hot soapsuds solution ( one HIIIK c coin i-
ino'n sudn in lu . ! MU i'N -ft -iin | )

iiould bd fllslrifeclecl with powdered
chloride of lime.
Files llnd a splendid brooding ground
In a Hlable. Sewage vaults should be
cleaned frequently and disinfected and
protected from tiles by chloride of
Hiiiior mill ; of lime. A filthy pigpen
Is also a line breeding place for lllcs.
Pigpens should be so built that they
may be Hushed out and cleaned. The
nianuro Is a valuable fertilizer and maybe
bo stored , but should be covered with
dry earth , chloride of llino or criu'oil. ' .
The task of keeping files out o. ' 'he
house Is n dlllli'iilt one. Screens and a
fly beater , lly paper , etc- . , only mitigate [
the evil. The rational method Is to
prevent breeding.
The uioHiiilto | does not carry the
germ of malaria on his feet , as the
lioiiMolly curries the typhoid bacillus ,
but In his salivary gland.
The mosquito In known as the "In-
tcrmedlate host" of the malarial para-1
site. In other words , llio parasite Is
received Into the digestive tract of the
inotqulto and hospitably entertained
and developed until It passes into the
salivary gland , from which It Is in
jected into the next human that the
mosquito bites.
The mosquito must go and Is going.
The hospitality ho has extended to the
plaHiuodhim of malaria has downed
him. But the "anopheles" mosquito Is
the genial host and the one which wo
must especially seek to destroy. The
common mosquito , "culex , " which tiles
In the daytime , is harmless so far as
we know. Anopheles may bo known
by its attitude on n flat surface hind
IORS nud body arc elevated nt tin angle ,
while culox keeps the body parallel
with the surface. Anopheles has spot
ted wings , culex not. Anopheles bites
In the early evening , culox nt any time.
How to Avoid Malaria.
Avoid the anopheles mosquito and
you will avoid malaria. Bad air has
positively nothing to do with malaria.
Particularly avoid being bitten by
mosquitoes in the early evening.
Screen your house and also screen
your bed with netting if you llvo in a
malarial locality. Best of all , do not
let mosquitoes breed around your
home. A small pall of standing water
will produce thousands. I have seen
countless swarms of mosquitoes on a
golf course whore the solo breeding
places were a few water boxes for
washing golf balls.
Allow no standing water around
your place. Screen your water barrel
or cistern. Pour coal oil along the
margin of swamps or slow running
streams. Drain nil stagnant water.
Deprive the mosquito of a place to
breed and the "fever and ttgue" will
not get you.
Pneumonia , Grip , Eto.
Every one fears scarlet fever , mea
sles , whooping cough and diphtheria ,
for they are well known to be commu
nicable or contagious. It Is not so
generally known that pneumonia Is an
Infectious general disease with a local
manifestation In the lungs. The pneu
monia germ , rejoicing in several beau
tiful names ; of which "Dlplococcus
piicumonlue" is the most commonly
used , is rather short lived nud easily
killed by .sunlight nud fresh air. In
the modern treatment of pucu'moiila
these agencies are utilized , and the pa
tient Is treateil no far as possible In
the open nlr. 13very precaution should
be taken to destroy the sputum of
pneumonic patients. Strong lye Is a
good disinfectant for this purpose , but
burning is better. People lu attend
ance on pneumonic patients should
protect themselves from Infection ,
Home Disinfectants.
Heat. Boiling Is the most effective
way of sterilizing clothing , handker
chiefs or other articles that can be
treated lu this way. Useless infected
articles should bo burned.
Soapsuds. One ounce of common
soda to twelve quarts of hot soapsuds
( soft soap and water ) Is an excellent t j I
cleanser for floor , refrigerators , etc. | I
Chloride of Lime. Powdered chloride -
ride of lime is a strong disinfectant !
and deodorizer. It should have a pun
gent , penetrating odor and an extreme- J
ly irritating effect on the eyes and air ,
passages , otherwise it Is Inert and use
less.
less.Milk
Milk of Lime. One quart of dry ,
freshly slacked lime toour or five
quarts of water ; useful for the same
purpose as chloride of lime in disin
fecting stables , drains , sewage vaults ,
sinks , all places where putrefaction ,
foul odors or Infection may exist.
Carbolic Acid Solution. Six ounces
to one gallon of water. This Is dangerous -
gerous to have arouud the house and 1
must bo used with care. Useful for
wiping floor , washing utensils and I
pouring down drain when infection Is
feaied. ,
|
Formalin. One part of formalin to .
ten of water is quite as useful and t I I
less dangerous than the former. For
disinfecting rooms use the following ,
for each thousand cubic feet of space :
Place four ounces of potassium per
manganate crystals In a metal pall ; '
add eight ounces of formalin (40 ( per I
cent solution ) . Place this pall in the
middle of the room , which should be
left tightly closed for from flve to
twenty-four hours. Avoid inhaling the
gas which Is quickly formed after
mixing the above Ingredients. This
gas does not penetrate bedding or up
holstery and docs not injure metals or
fabrics. It will not destroy insects.
Two ounces of gum camphor added to
the above ralxtnro will kill' ' flies and
mosquftoes.
To completely disinfect clothing , bed
ding and upholstery the formalin so
lution must bo freely sprayed' directly '
on these articles.
