advantage of slate in several particu-

scIEcarc while Nursing the Sick

To those who are called upo1 to
nurse the sick through long and
severe illness, it is of the utmost i'm
pcrtauce, nnt only to them. elves, but
to their patient, that their own
health should be preserved and their
own strength maintained, not only
throughout the critical stage, but
during the period of convalescncc,
sometimes so tediOusly prolonged.
To all such. We submit the following
simple precautions, to aid them in
preserving their own health while
attending the .ick.
Ii the maIady of the patient be
such as 10 cause any marked odor of
the breath or noticeable exhalatIons
from the Skin, take care always 10

via take toward the windows or

their brca.h is carried away from
you. Do not sit to- c'osc to hem,
or take their breath if you can
avoid it.
To keep ones ttrer 9Th in case OF
prolonged care, and particularly if
obliged to sit up all night for many
nights in succession, great bcne fit
will be derived from taking a warm
bath early in the morning, and put
ting on fresh undcr-garmentS every
sccond morn ng; or if the disea,e be
particularly infectious in its nature,
it is best to change the underclots-
ing every morning. II will be found
that the warm bath, followed Ivy
brisk rubbing of the whole body
with a coarse Turkish towel or flesh
brush, will refresh the wearied body
almost rs much as sleep. At the
same time keep up the appetite and
strength by small doses of quinine,
two 10 five grains three times day,
and nourishing diet, with, perhaps.
a little wine and water occasionally.
