formation of the framework Of the
body" AS. for instance, "A kind of rid

In every illness, whether slight or
serious, n slip should be made when the
doctor pays his first visit, and the hour
marked for every thing the patient is
to take, medicine, no~urishment or slim
liant, for the next twenty-four hours, or
until the doctor makes his next call.
This slip should lay beside the watch,
and both should be placed where the
eyes of the Nurse will constantly fail
upon them. When the hour has come,
and the medicine, stimulant or nourish-
ment, whichever it is, has been given,
that hour should at once be crossed off.
so i'll case of change of nurses, or anv
other contingency, the dose will not be
repeated.
