How to Sweep an Invalid's Room

WE all know how untidy a sick room becomes, and how annoying the dust of the sweeping is to the patient. “To remedy this,” said a trained and capable nurse recently, “I put a little ammonia in a pail of warm water, and, with my mop wrung as dry as possible, go all over the carpet first. This takes up all the dust, and much of the loose dirt. A broom will take what is too large to adhere to the mop, and raise no dust. With my dust cloth well sprinkled I go over the furniture, and the room is fairly clean.”—Doctor’s Magazine.
