The article is specially valuable in and designed for use in hospitals.
Any exudations, especially blood or liquid matters, escaping from the patient will be absorbed by the earthy mattress or protector', and rendered innocuous and generally inodorous thereby.'
In carrying out my invention I forma case or covering of porous cloth, which, by stitching it crosswise in parallellines orothervvise, I divide into a series of compartments, each of which I fill with common earth, preferring that of an argillaceous character'.
In the drawinga denotes the covering;
b b b, the divisions or separate cavities; and
c o o, Ste., the masses of earth therein.
I claim as a new manufacturev The earth-mattress or bed-protector, made substan tially in manner and of materials and for the purpose as hereinbefore described.
