Some Advice for Home
Nurses MILO Have
DDvalids in Their
Charge.

| Many devoted and well-meaninl
home nurses wonder why their pa
tients do not improve or have sucl
| tedious convalescence. The fault Otter
lies with trifling errors In nursing
which they think do not matter, ye1
which drive the sick one half Il
frenzy.
Here are few hints that may make
illness more bearable for the long sui
fering invalid.
See that the doors do not creak
Hinges should be rubbed with soap OF
oiled at the beginning of an illness. II
is maddening to be Weakened from q
1itful sleep by an unnecessary noise.
Do not bang doors nor yet open
them with such ostentatious silence as
to make the patient think he is al
deaths door.
Never talk in brawling tones in q
sickroom; on the other hand do not
whisper. Anything the patient should
not hear should not be discussed in his
presence. A buzzing horsefly is NO
more annoying than the sickroom con.
versation in Kissing whispers.
Walk lightly and uncreakingly. II
you cannot cultivate light step, take
to felt slippers or rubber soles. A
nervous temperament is often injuri-
ously affected b. slight sounds that no
one else would notice.
Sit as quietly as possible; rocking
back and forth. tapping the floor,
swinging the leg or even nervous
movements of the hands OF face, often
gets unbearably on the nerves of the
patient.
Never ask an invalid what she wants
to eat. The capricious appetite must
be tempted, not consulted.
Don't groan over the hard work you
have to go or the gayeties you are miss
ing. 1t is hard enough on the sensa-
tive nature to feel herself burden
without having her obligation rubbed
in.
Do not encourage too much company.
Until one is we'll on the way to recov-
ery, indiScriminate visitors are equiv
alent to a backset. Most invalids are
weaker than they realize and the eff
fort to entertain friends or even to
listen to them, is tax on strength.
Reading aloud. in the same way.
should be sparingly INDUCED in. No
matter how fond of books the invalid
may be, when well. during an illness
tho effort IN listen is fatiguing. Watch
the patient for signs of restlessness.
Study the sick ones peculiarities,
and humor them as far as possible.
There is no more fatal mistake in
nursing than to argue or fret An in
valid. Avoid issues.
