notwithstanding her duties have been numerous, constant and sometimes
 perplexing. During the season she has made 2SO calls npon the sick. where her calls were needed, beside many others which were calls of ln- 1 quiry and offers of help. The rest of the time was devoted to personal at tentiOn to those who requir-d more or less constant services and which has totaled twelve weeks and four days.
 During the season nine men died, eight of whom had tuberculosis and the other, kidney trouble Que wo- man died, a victim of tuberculosis. One woman suffered a severe attack of pneumonia. She was given good attention and recovered, since which time. she had returned to the society the amount of money expendeu in her behalf. She is a school teacher and the daughter of congressman. One other lady was given attention dur ing,an attack of la grippe. Kindly of fices were rendered in relief Cf many others who were suffering of minor ailments but temporarily severe and which of course earned their univer- sal gratitude. There were two con- finement cases and two sick babes were cared for. Among those relieved were one minister. one physician and one school teacher. while many were given attention whose occupations were not learned. One man who died. suffered of tuberculosis of the throat and the treatment required 1dminis- tratiOn-thrOugh a tube five times daily.
 Some of the patients lived in tents and cottages. some in rOoming houses, two in hospitals and one at St. Luke's sanitarium. The territory embraced within the circle of the society's in- fluence was practically Phoenix and the additions, from the fair grounds to Eastlake Park.
 There was but one actual 'rebuff" experienced by the society. and that was the refusal of one roOming house to admit the district nurse on her mission of charity.
 All this has been done with but a single nurse employed and is d fine illustration of what little money and organized effort will do. The society plans a larger field of activity next season and of course will require funds to meet its ends. The above facts are given in detail that the charitably inclined may have knowl- edge of the work and aid as they see fit. The president of the league is Mrs. Garret Ryan. Mrs. G. r.

SEASONS WORK OF
 THE HEALTH LEAGUE
A Vast Amount of Relief Afforded by Efficient Labor and Judicious Ex- penditure.

The Arizona Health League, which has been doing a splendid work in Phoenix during the past winter. is now approaching the end of its season of activity Its chief labor has been the maintainance of a district nursing plan. by means of which it has been able to do a great deal of good. It has had one nurse, Miss Ferguson, employed during the season, going from place to place. responding to the calls of the sick and rendering such ministrations as were within her pow CT with the facilities provided. It is little enough to say that during the season there have been scores in need of her assistance who have lived to bless her work and that of the phil anthropic society which made it pos sible. while some who were hopeless ly and fatally stricken passed through the valley of the shadow. carrying to the grave the memory of kia1 words and kindlier actions.
 The district nursing plan consists of the society providing a nurse to go from house to house, giving attention to those who need it, but are unable to hire the services of a skilled at tendant It is not alone the adminis- traitor of medicines, but the hundred little things that make for the com fort of the sick. including the material necessities. Miss Ferguson nas been devoted in her duty as will be seen by the statistical report she filed with the society yesterday. the nursing feature ending for this year with the month of April.
 Miss Ferguson at the beginning of the season was quite i'll herself. but she seemed to improve with her work and is now much stronger and better.

 him to a doctor and tried half dozen other treatments, all with the same result: no improvement at all. The disease gradually spread until nearly every part of his body was quite raw. We had to strap him down in bed, for he used to tear himself dreadfully in his sleep. The agony he went through is quite beyond words. No one thought we would rear h-m. The regimental doctor, a very clever man, pronounced the case hopeless; at least, he said the only hope was that he might. If he lived long enough, outgrow 1t to some extent. We had him in hospitals four times and he was pronounced one of the worst cases, if not the worst, ever admitted. From each he was dis charged as incurable; in fact he got worse under the successive treatments. At one hospital they incased him in plaster, and this seemed to aggravate the soreness terribly. He looked so badly that no one liked to go near him and his life was a burden to him. We kept trying remedy after remedy. but we had got almost past hoping for cure. Six months ago we purchased a set of Cuticura Soap, Ointment, and Resolvent Pills and persevered with them. The result was truly marvellous and to-day he is perfectly cured, his skin not having a blemish on it anywhere. Mrs. Lily Hedge, 51. Vaughan Road, Coldharbour Lane. Camblewell Green, Eng.
