This is objectionable. To ob-viate this it is perhaps best to wear cotton gloves for the first por-tion of the operation. These will absorb the perspiration and can GLOVES DURING OPERATIONS 135 be frequently changed so as to avoid saturation, that is, a cleanpair is substituted before the infective perspiration has permeated.
