 Last summer the nurses were en- tirely overtaxed, for the work, in- stead of slackening as had been ex- pected. continued to increase, So this summer an extra nurse must be employed while the three nurses each take months vacation, to which she Is entitled. Before starting on the holiday which you anticipate with so much pleasure, will you consider those who are left behind and won't you, before you go leave gift which will help in the work of the Visiting Nurse association? What will provide mere luxury for you can relieve the absolute necessity of some one who is lying In pain and helplessness, suffer ing as much as you in the stifling heat, and more than you in seeing the ground slipping out from under him as strength ebbs away. and those dependant on him suffer too.
