The etiquette of the sick room should
be better understood. Many n patient,
nervous and excited, has literally had the
life forced out and gone to the grave
through uneasiness or fright over his
mysterious surroundings. There is no
time when a man or woman more needs
to AVE natural and cheerful people about
them thar when tossing on n sick bed.
Talking in the room should ALWAYS be
done in n natural tone of voice, and never
in whispers. There should be no tip
toeing and no hong faces, or discussions
over this or that grave symptom. The
doctor that don't bring n breeze of cheer
fulness with him to the sick room had
better quit business and go to the under
takers trade. There are many forms of
disease where the patient is killed or
cured, not by any remedies, hut by the
indiscretion or discretion of the physician
and attendants. Chicago Inter Ocean.
