nurses. So great was the benefit
that an evening school was open
ed about a year ago in the city
of Philadelphia for women and
girls who were anxious for self
improvement. The Physiology
and Hygiene of daily life are
here taught with minute instruc-
ton for nursing the sick aud the
care of a child from its birth:
and hundreds of mothers are be-
ing blessed in this way and the
question naturally arises, why
was she not before taught this
which of all things of the most
vital Importance every day and
every hour Of our lives? Such
information universally possessed
cannot but result in great benefit
to the individual and the COM
mon wealth.
Every day the reaper death
reaps with his keen sickle the
flowers of our land, the sweetest,
the dearest of earths choicest
gems. -
If we ask why so many fair
girls of eighteen or twenty are
followed by weeping to an early
tomb, the answer is chiefly from
disease resulting from want of
knowledge in regard to the laws
of health. Stealthy is the ap-
proach of diseases, all durable at
first, all we'll nigh hopeless at last
when they have unmasked their
real features. Every mother
should be able to nurse her own
sick. For whose eye is SO prac-
tised, whose hand so tender,
whose heart so loving, as the
anxious mother? She should
also know the symptoms as well
as the cause of diseases.
There are hundceds of simple
home remedies known to practi-
cal nurses on everyhand, in our
houses, on our tables and grow
in our yards and gardens, and on
the wild prairie, planted by the
hand of God. Yet mothers go
on giving improper food insult
ed to the delicate stomach, and
then with no practical knowledge
of the simple remedies of nature
neglects the case, until 4 doctor
is called so often, alas, when il
is to late. Observation and
many years experience have fully
convinced us that simple rem
edies and good nursing have &C.
complished better results than
eminent physicians.
We should then depend more
on the simple remedies of nature
than the dosing and dragging
system, which has occasioneG
more than any one thing so much
degeneracy of the human family.
Thousands daily die victims to
medicine, who might have LIVED
to a good old age had they trust
ed to nature and simple remedies
A no less distinguished physi
clan and author than John Masol
Good says, "That medicine ha
