Persons suffering from the 'disease should, as far as possible, keep themselves isolated, and should at once undergo proper treatment,. otherwise fatal results may ensus. Occupiers. of premises, especially those which, accommodate a large number of persons, should disinfect the floors daily. The floors should be sprayed with some disinfecting solu
