Examples

“Imagine⟳ before you now the dear little infant, with clothes wet⟳ around the hips, sometimes even up to the neck, not only with urine but stained by feces, freely giving off an offensive urinous and fecal odor combined with a gangrenous fetor arising from decomposition, not desiccation, of the cord. All this is not infrequently covered with a water-proof rubber diaper to protect⟳ the bed, notwithstanding the risk⟳ of the babe's life.”

“One rubber diaper, to be used as seldom as possible—only for brief periods when visiting or travelling; it is worn over the cloth diaper and should not have⟳ elastic at the top or around the legs.”
