In preparing a meal FOX any one whose
appetite Is delicate IL should be made 10
look as tempting as possible. The tray
should be covered with the whiiest napkin
and the silver. glass aud china should
shine with cleanliness. There should not
be too great a variety OF vtands, and but a
very small portion Of each one. Nothing z
more quickly Jisgusts q feeble appetite
than quality OF food presented At one
time.
The patient never should be consulted
beforehand as to what he will eat or what
he will drink. Ii he asks for anything give
II TO him, with the doctors permission
otherwise prepare something he is known
to like and offer 1t without previous com
meni One OF the chief offices OF good
nurse is to think Tor her patient. His
slightest want should be anticipated and
Rratifled before he has bad time to express
II Quick observation will enable her to de-
trct the nrst symptom OF worry or excite
meuL aud TO remove the cause. An Invalid
never should be tea>ed with the exertion
Of making q decision. Whether the room
Is too hot or cold; whether chicken broth,
beef tea, or Cruel Is best for his luncheon,
and all similar matters, are questions
which should be decided without appealing x
to him
Household troubles should be kept as tar
as possible from the sicA-room. Squabbles
Of children or servants never should find
an echo there.
In the event OF some calamity occurring,
of which IL is absolutely necessary the suf-
ferer should be informed, the Ill news
should be broken as gently as possible, and
every soothing device employed TO help
him to bear the shock.
Above all, an invalid, or even a person
apparently convalescent, should be saved
from his friends. One gairulous acquain-
tance admitted for half an hour will undo
the good done by a week Of tender nursing
Whoever is the responsible person ia
| charge should know how much her patient
can bear, she should keep careful watct
| on visitors of whose discretion she is no
certain, and the moment she perceiyes 4
to be necessary, politely but firmly dismiss
| them.
She must carry out implicitly the doc

the sufferer the best results from his skill
