admirable wisdom small sanitarum in
London, started and financed by herself
when the year 1854 saw the outbreak of the
Crimean war. The ineffieiencY and mis-
management OF the military hospitals
aroused much indiguat both at home and
abroad. Lord Herbert, the Secretary of
War, and an old friend of the Nightingale
family. wrote and asked his young friend if
sue would consent to take charge OF the
band of trained nurses who were being sent
ont to Scurari by the patriotic fund. Curl
ously enough his missive crossed a letter in
which Miss Nightingale offered TO go: So
only waiting IN order to procure absolute
necessaries,' she and her band of thirty
seven devoted helpers started on their way.
Ihe state OF things that Miss Nightingale
found at Scutari defies description, Every
thing was chaos, and the existing medical
authorities did not know where TO turn for
the simplest necessaries. At that time she
was described as being "a tall and graceful
looking woman, with small, wel-shaped.
soft, sympathetic brown eyes, and with a
hrm, courageous expression of counte-
nance" She had an enormous influence
both with the men and at headquarters, and
ner energy and intelligence saved thousands
and thousands of lives. The strain and ter
rible effort undergone by her during the
two years that she remained in the East told
upon her health, and she has been more or
less OF a confirmed invalid ever since, Still
from her sickroOm she labored on unceas-
ingly, and 1t is undoubtedly due to her that
the present English system of trained nurses
was esta blished.
The 100000 which the nation subscribed
to her in gratitude for her great services
was entirely devoted by her to the form
alton OF an institute for the training and
employment of nurses. and she has always
taken the most vivid interest in all that
concerns her beloved profession. Miss
Florence Nightingale has for many years
never seen stranger but on question OF
strict business. The various small PAM
phlets she has published, Notes on Nurs-
ing" "Notes on Hospitals" etc, have been
widely read. and even TO this day involve
considerable amount of correspondence.
Whenever new sanitary army reform is
cont templated her advice is always asked
by the authorities at the War Office and
great Difference is paid TO her Judgment.
