Text Appearing Before Image: terthey are tied on. When not used in the sick-room, remove at convenienttimes for airing and drying inthe sun, if possible. They shouldalso be sterilized by boiling ordisinfecting at convenient inter-vals. The masks should be put onbefore entering the sick-room,should not be handled after be-ing tied on, and must be boiledat least five minutes, and thor-oughly dried every time they aretaken off. It is advisable tohave two masks, so that whileone is in use the other can besterilized, disinfected, and dried.Do not depend too much uponthe mask for protection. Whileits use affords a measure of protection against inhaling disease germs, it mustbe remembered that there are many other ways by which the germs may betransmitted from one person to another. Soiled hands, common drinking cups,improperly cleaned eating and drinking utensils in the home, in restaurants,and at soda fountains, roller towels, etc., are some of the many means of infec-tion.

The fever oftenreaches 100° or 101° F. before the patient feels theseverity of the ache or pain that accompanies it. Aslight rise in temperature is often the first symptom,which may be noted by some congestion of the eyes anda flush on the face. Often there is a slight headacheand more or less nausea, with fever ranging from101° to 104°. It is exceptional for the fever to run upto 104.5° or 105°. Such high temperature is always theresult of poor elimination, and calls for heroic elimina-tive treatment. Constipation rather than diarrhea ismet with in most cases.
