Which Causes the Death Of Many Sick
A'Nl Room Victims.
Thoughtlessness and mistaken kind
ness In the sick-room slay their thou
sands, and the family and nurses are
oft-times the unknown accessories to
the deed" is the emphatic opinion OF
Bland Brunner Huddleston, writing Of
Visitors to the Sick-room," in the
Woman's Home Companion. ''They
fear criticism too much. Their mothers
and grandmothers never dreamed of TO
fusing admittance to the sick-room; 1t
would cause talk to begin it, SO the
nurse casts responsibility off on custom
and puts a blind trust I'm Providence,
and the deed Is done! No matter how
visibly 1t harrows the,soul of a nervous
woman to have outsiders about her.

vading every sick-room they can reach.
regardless of the condition of the pa
tient or the probability Tor lack OF
probability that they may be of any
least useful and most tactless women
of community who are most active
In their attentions to the afflicted. Such
visitors seriously handicap the efforts
of the physician and nurses and un-
doubtedly cause many death. 1t Is
astonishing to witness the recklessness
of most families in regard to this phase
of the care Of their sick. Unless pa
tient is actually in articulo mortis the
country doctor does not like to endan-
ger his popularity by ordering the arbi-
trary exclusion of visitors. Without
his commands to back them up the
family that attempts the innovation
invites and gets the ostracism of the
neighborhood for no short time.

society is a benefit to convalcscents,
and that kind, like medicine, only at
