liut the most efficient method for se
eming isolation of the individual is
the use of the face mask, made with
three or four layers of gauze in the
shape of a rectangle measuring 5 by 7
in.-hes. The mask has lomj been em
ployed by surgeons as a filter for the
expired air in the operating room. It
lias been used successfully at the Du
rand hospital by Dr. G. II. Weaver for
the protection of physicians and nurses
engaged in the care of patients with
contagious disease."
l)r. Capps then goes on to say that!
the experiment of using the masks on
patients war, tried at Camp Grant and
was so successful thnt it was institut
ed as a routine measure in most of the
medial wards.
"From February 1 to June 1, 101S,"
he says; ''the mask was in continuous
operation. Whenever a case of scarlet
fever broke out the ward was placed
in quarantine for one week; when
measles broke out the ward was quar
antined for two weeks.
"in twenty wards exposed to scarlet
fever as n secondary infection only
one subsennit case of scarlet fever
developed during the week of quaran
tine. "In eight wards exposed to measles
as a secondary infection not a single
ease of measles developed during the
two weeks of quarantine. The system
may be said to have been efficient in
per cent of the exposure to scarlet
fever and in 100 per cent of the ex
posure to measles.
"If this experience can be taken as
a criterion we soon shall be justified
in ignoring the quarantine of the wan!
in these cio-s-iiifections, provided the
system of marking is in good working
order at the time of their appearance.''
Abstincts, of the discussion that fol
lowed the article by Dr. Capps, taken
from statemi nls made by many physi
cians, show the efficiency of the mask
in controlling and subduing broncho

of four trials B. prodigiosus was re
covered, usually in large numbers, oil
plates up to stx feet distant.
In two trials in which plates were
exposed up to 10 feet,- U. prodigiosus
was once recovered up to seven, feet
uid once up to ten feet.
In experimenting with the mask on
three sorts of material were employed,
as follows: Coarse gauze, - medium
gauze and buttercloth. From each sort
masks were made of from two to ten
layers in thickness.
With the coarse gauze mask on the
bacteria were recovered five times in
mall numbers on plates at variable
distances after ordinary conversation-
ii speech for five minutes; after loud
speech for five minutes the bacteria
were found, on plates from one to four
feet distant, and after coughing for
five minutes they were recovered in
every instance,
Lxpcrimenting with the medium
gniiie, after the first test the b.aetcria
were recovered in small numbers only
on the one-foot plate. A two-layer
mask was used in this test. Using a
two-layer mask the one-foot plate was
heavily seeded after loud speech for
five minutes. The third test, that of
coughing for five minutes through tbe
medium gauze mask of varying thick
nesses, the bacteria were recovered in
every instance in moderate numbers
on nlates from two to six fet distant.
The most successful ma sic Was the
one made of huUercioth, according to
the ' experimenters.
