Negative Doings For Nurses.

Negative Doings For Nurses.
Do not give the doctor occasion to
say upon entering the sick-room,
''The air is close here, you must have
better ventilation"
Do not say to the physician in
charge, CDR. A. does so and So"
Follow the directions of one as faith
fully and carefully as those of the
other. 4
Do not say disparaging things OF
sister nurses. One never gains any
thing by trying to pull another
down.
Do not gossip about former pa
TENTS. Family affairs should not be
CARED" by the nurse.
Do not think that you know all
thatis necessary to know about your
work, but be always gathering, and
Gull the best.
Do not pour medicine from bot
tie without first looking at the label
to make sure, and do not pour me3i-
cine over the label; keep that clean so
that the directions and the number
of the prescription will not be de-
faced.
Do not use dangerous medicine on
your own responsibility; have the
sanction or order from physician
every time.
Do not forget to preach the gospel
OF pure air, and practice what you
preach.
Do not ask patients what they
want for a meal; find out by other
members of the family their likes and
dislikes. Sometimes they will saw
they don't like certain thing to eat;
when it is cooked and served nicely
they will.
Donot leave food in the sick-room.
If anything that is left is wanted for
another time, put it where it will keep
fresh, and serve in another dish.
Do not fill dishes too full; better to
have patients ask tor more.-Mary
E. Freeman, in Journal of Pratical
Nursing.

them are unjust, bat it entirely depends
on future Investigations to show that they
are. II is certain, however, that the
work OF the investigating committee will
not be confined entirely TO the charges
against engrossing clerk Stollings.
There were other men than Stollirgs
seeking to bribe Dsnocratic members
Behind Stollings' offer stood men higher
