Precautions To Be Taken

To Avoid Cholera

Cholera is a disease which affects the intestines and develops very rapidly." Very minute particles of human discharges are sufficient to cause the disease. The greatest precaution must therefore be taken to avoid contamination of food and water with human extreia. Contamination may be brought about in so many ways that it is important that food should be kept ander cover and free from dies. Water must be bolled -drinking and fresh uncooked vegetables avoided.

before

It is not sufficient to consider only the actual food you eat. Kitchen utensils, tables, paste boards, etc., chop-sticks, and cutlery, must be kept scrupulously clean and dried with a clean boiled towel defore use.

!!

Flies are a very great danger as they may dy from a Sze- tap. latrine or even a garden fertilised with night soll and from there carry infection to food before or AFTER it has been cook. ed. Cockroaches are also very dangerous as they spend the day on the crown of sewers and drains and at night time wander over kitchen tables and crockery. It is therefore advisable to wash basins and crockery immediately before use.

Great care should be taken to avoid the pollution of wells. Sufficient water may be left on a rice bowl or plate which has only been rinsed in infected water, to esase Cholera.

The washing of clothing and bedding in the vicinity of a well must be strictly avoided. In addition to these precautions persons of all ages should be inoculated as early as possible at one of the Government Hospitals of Chinese hospitals or Dis- pensaries.
