TRAINING INSTITUTION FOR NURSES
FOR HOSPITALS, FAMILIES, AND THE POOR.
All who are professionally conversant with the condition of oar
Hospitals complain of the inadequate supply of well-trained nurses as
an evil seriously interfering with the efficient discharge of their du-
ties. They cannot trust to their orders being executed by the
nurses, and they find that the patients sutler from faults of those on
whom, in their state of helplessness, they are almost entirely depen-
dent ; and it is obvious that any defects in the tempers and charac-
ters of those who are constantly with the sick must exercise a hurt-
ful influence upon the state of their minds, and must tend to neutral-
ise the effect of the religious instruction and consolation which they
receive while in the hospital.
It is also matter of general notoriety that great difficulty is found
in obtaining well qualified nurses to attend on patients in private
families, especially in those of the middle and lower classes ; and
parochial clergymen feel the want of competent persons on whom
they could rely, in visting the sick of their respective parishes, and
administering to their bodily wants.
The most effectual, perhaps the only effectual, remedy for these
evils, is to train up a body of nurses who shall be taught to look
up's' their work as a religious one, to undertake it with habits of
self-control, and with a mind understanding it fully, and prepared for
its trying and painful duties.
The want here spoken of has been felt in other countries as well as
in our own, and attempts have been made to meet it. Orders of
persons devoting themselves to visiting the sick exist in Roman
Catholic countries : an " Institution of Deaconesses" has been found
useful in Prussia ; a reeent attempt to improve the respectability of
professional nurses has worked beneficially in England. The Insti-
tution which it is proposed to found under the name of " Training
Institution for Nurses" nlll be based on the doctrine and discipline
of the Church of England ; and it will seek to accomplish its object,
not by selecting the self-devoted few who are permitted by freedom
from other duties to give themselves entirely to this, but by endea-
vouring to net, both directly and indirectly, upon the whole body of
persons who are pursuing this as their regular calling in life. To
raise the diameter of the class by offering to its members a training
which shall qualify them for their professional work, and be at the
same time essentially a religious training ; to hold out, to those who
are justified in seeking for it, the prospect ea higher profeasiona
position than they could otherwise obtain ; and,to afford also to
those who are ready (without hope of any earthly reward) to give
themselves to this work as one of Christian love, a legitimate field cf
labour : these are the means which, as they have been successful
in forming the high character of the clergy and physicians of Eng-
land, may, it is hoped, be new instrumental, under God's blessing,
in raising that of a body which is at present so much in Want of
improvement.
It is proposed that the Training Institution should be under the
immediate superintendence of a clergyman of the United Church of
England and Ireland, as Master. . .
That the inmates of the Institution should consist of 'three
dames :
I. These under training as probationers.
2. Those who, after passing through the period of probation sa-
tisfactorily, are admitted as nurses, on condition of their engaging
to continue in connexion with the Institution for. a period of-five
years from their admission. During this period they will be clothed
and maintained, and receive a fixed annual stipend, and in return
will be entirely under the control of the governing body of the In-
stitution.
At the end of these five years they will be entitled to receive from
the Institution a certificate of their qualification as nurses, and
thenceforward to pursue their calling, either in connexion with the
Institution, or independent of any direct eontrol from it. It is be-
lieved that this will be a very Important step towards gradually
raising the character of the whole class. A nurse having this certi-
cate will necessarily occupy a higher position than others, will be
likely to set an example which can scarcely fail to have a good effect
upon them, and will encourage those who are looking forward to this
as their work in life, to follow in the same course, and submit them-
selves to the training of this Institution.
3. In addition to these there will be a class of sisters, which is in-
tended to comprise persons, of whatever station in life, who are
willing to devote themselves to the work of attending the sick and
poor, or of educating others for it under an organised system like
that which n ill be here provided for them.
The management of the Institution will be confided to a council
of twenty-tour members, (exclusive ( f the master, who will be
ex officio a member,) belonging to the United Church of England
and Ireland, who shall be chosen by the Governors out of their
own body.
A donation of fifty guineas in ono payment, or in several payments
within four years, or an anneal subscription of five guineas, will con-
stitute a Governor.
A donation of twenty guineas in one payment, or in several pay-
ments within four years, or an annual subscription of two guineas,
will constitute a Donor.
The Lord Bishop of London has sanctioned the plan now sub-
mitted to the public, and has kindly consented to become President
of the Institution.
It has also received the approbation of the Lord Archbishop of
York, and the Bishops of Lichfield, Salisbury, Gloucester and Bristol,
Ripon, and Norwich.
The Rev. C. Wordsworth, D.D., George Erase, Esq., and Dr.
Latham, have kindly consented to act as Trustees to the Insti-

tution.
Henry Sykes Thornton, Esq., has consented to act as Treasurer.
The following gentlemen have formed themselves into a Provi-
sional Committee, to arrange the details of the Institution, and to
solicit assistance for its establishment and maintenance :

TO THE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news-
paper on Aug. 7, 1846. Reader, remember, this letter was put into
the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me.
" Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
tunity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grlmstone, of the Herbary, High-
gate ter the efficacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hai r on her head, after usino* it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is much stronger and 's
mere luxuriant than
I ever was before the baldness appeared.
" Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:the virtues of Mr. G.'s
Regeitator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an Ils. bottle it tkey were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair is abund-
ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iii far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough."
In cases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w
drops on the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair frcm coining away with the comb, make it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant aid surly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.
The most delicate ladies may- use this delightful product of the
most aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary ceunpanion
t 3 the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour ten or twelve drops
en the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most Cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair on children's heads in a few appplics.tions. If used on infants'
heads, It has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—see
pamphlet of testimonials.

TO MR. PROUT, 229, STRAND.
" No. 208, Piccadilly. London, October 19, 1847.
" Sir,—lt is new three and a half years since I was sorely afflicted
with Rheumatic Gout, the suffering from which induced me to try
all the proposed remedies that extensive medical experience could
devise, without obtaining any satisfactory relief trom pain. During
one of the paroxysms a friend advised me to try BLAIR'S GOUT
and RHEUMATIC PILLS, observing that he had in some severe
eases taken them himself, and they proved very successful. I in-
stantly adopted his advice, and to my joy the excruciating torment
soon began to abate, and a few boxes restored me to health, since
which I have had no return of the complaint.
" I trust you willgive publicity to my case, that suffering humanity
may know hew to obtain a remedy for this distressing disease.
"I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant,
•‘ MICHAEL NISMYTH."
The above testimonial is a further proof of the efficacy of Blair's
Gout and Rheumatic ['ills, which afford speedy relief to those afflicted
with gout, rheumatism, lumbago, sciatica, tic doloreux, pains in the
head and face, and all analogous complaints.
The never-failing effects of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC
PILLS in curing every description of Gout and Rheumatism, have
secured to them a celebrity unequalled by any medicine of past
lor present times. They not only give relief in a few hours, but re-
store to perfect health in an inconceivably short space of time. They
are equally speedy and certain in lumbago, sciatica, pains in, the head
or face, and indeed in every rheumatic or gouty affection : in fact,
such has been the rapidity, perfect ease, and complete safety of this
medicine, that it has astonished all who have taken it ; and there is
scarcely a city, town, or village in the kingdom but contains many
grateful evidences of its benign influence.

ment, by all respectable Medicine Vendors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

OWLANDS' MACASSAR OIL
It may with truth be averred, that ROWLANDS' MAC .1S
SAR OIL has enjoyed an extent of patronage and public favour dur-
ing the last half century which is totally unexampled in the annals
of felicitous discovery. The extraordinary efficacy, and happy amal-
gamation of its purely exotic materials, have rendered it justly re-
nowned throughout the world for its remarkable virtues in nourish-
ing, preserving, and beautifying the Human Hair. It insinuates
Its balsamic properties into the pores of the head, nouri,hes the Hair
in its embryo state, cleanses it from scurf and dandriff, accelerates
its growth, sustains it in maturity, and continues its possession of
kealthy vigour, silky softness, and luxurious redundancy to the latest
period of human life. In the growth of Whiskers, Eyebrows, and
Mustachois, it is also unfailing in its stimulative operations. For Chil-
dren it is especially recommended, as forming the basis of a Beau-
tiful Head of Hair, and rendering the use of the fine comb untie-

cessary.
Its invaluable properties have obtained the especial Patronage of
her Majesty the Queen, the Court, and the whole of the Royal Family
of Great Britain, and of every Court of the civilise! world ; and the
high esteem in which it is universally held, together with numerous
Testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and
surest proofs of its merits.

THE LATE ME. DOUGLAS'S " ADVENTURES OF A
MEDICAL ,STUDENT.—This work consists of a series of
stories rather resembling `The Diary of a late Physi-
cian,' resembling it certainly in, the tragical (and often
terrific) character of the tales. They have most of them
a striking, many of them, a startling species of interest,
and indicate no common power of imagination. The
work will be enjoyed by the readers of fiction, and the
more so on account of the variety of incident w hich it
embraces, there being upwards of twenty distinct talcs.
i
In many of them, where the interest s more of a domestic
nature, the scenes are of a most tender and touching
character; in others, the interest is more terrible in its
nature, touching upon dark deeds of bloodshed. Nor
are there wanting stories of the strange and the super-
natural. In fact, we have the n
fits t fruits of a wild
and fervid fancy, revelling i i full luxuriance.—

Amongst those relations in which one man feels
very repugnant to stand with another, is that of security;
and although a friend may express his willingness to do
much to serve you, he evinces a strong disinclination to
become responsible for your actions or fidelity. This
feeling so generally pervades mankind, that it is a matter
of difficulty to procure persons who are not under its
influence. This difficulty is, however, now happily re-
moved by the formation of an association, professing to
stand responsible for the fidelity of persons in situations
of trust, for a trifling annual. per tentage, and which,
under the direction of influential gentlemen, has offices
in the capitals of both England and Scotland. In the
former, at 9, Waterloo.place, pall-mall, and in the latter,
at 127, Princes-street, Edinburgh. The Lords of the
Treasury, the Poor-law Commissioners
, others,
are
amongst those who, convinced o! the beneficial naturo
of this association, have given. it their sanction, and
accept it as ample security.

by these pills when every other means have failed. This
atter class of stiff rers may depend. upon getting great
relief in the first three days, and
didn
in their lives. Sold
