Show A S!CK ROOM HINT. In a recent case of illness in which a trained nurse was' employed the pleasant air of the sick room was noticeable. no-ticeable. When commented on, the nurse explained how it was managed. A few pieces of brown paper had been soaked in saltpetre water and allowed to dry. When occasion required a piece of this was laid in a tin pan kept for the purpose (the coal skuttie- would do), a. handful of dried lavender flowers laid upon it and a match applied. The aroma was particularly refreshing and agreeable. . Another suggestion in the same line applies to the use of lavender laven-der in another form. A few drops of ol of lavender poured into a glass of very hot water will purify the air of a room almost instantly. Catholic Sentinel. |
