GREAT NURSE DEAD
FlOranCe Nightingale Ruined Her
Health For Soldiers
HEROINE OF CR|MEAN WAR
She Reformed the Entire Hospital System and
Lowered fhe Death Rate 40 Per Gent

Miss Florence Nightingale, the
"Angel of the Crimea," and the hero
inc of that war, died in London Sun
day.
Florence Nightingale was born in
the city of Florence, from which her
name was borrowed, May II, 1920, of
wealthy English parents. She was a
great advancement in music, mathe-
mates and the languages. Happen
ing to visit a hospital while yet a
little girl she at once announced that
nursing was to be her career in life.
When she grew into young woman
hood she abandoned society and social
friends, going to Germany and France
to study hospital methods and nursing.
Upon her return to London she
soon became the recognized leader in
hospital reform. Shortly after the be-
ginning of the Crimean war, i'll the
winter of 1854, when the world was
Mortified by the graphic descriptions
of the suffering OF the sick and
wounded soldiers on the battlefield
the British war office asked Florence
Nightingale to take charge of the hos
pital corps.
Arriving the day after the battle OF
Inkerman she found $4,000 sick and
wounded soldiers lying in filth, COW
cred with vermin, dying for lack OF
care and attention. Miss Nightingale
started TO work The extraordinary
death rate of AZ per cent fell to per
cent The soldiers loved her so well
that as she passed their cots they
would often kiss her shadow on the
wall.
She herself fell i'll from overwork
and anxiety, but insisted upon re-
naming there with her charges and
when convalescent resumed her ardu-
Gus duties 1t was her practice to
make complete inspection of the hos
pital camp every night before retiring
Upon these tours she carried a lamp
with her and she became known as
the Lady of the Lamp
In 1856 Miss Nightingale was dec
GRATED by Queen Victoria for her
service in the Crimea.
In 1904 the Dignity of the Lady OF
Grace of the Order of St. John OF
Jerusalem was conferred upon her by
King Edward.
In 1907 the Insignia OF the Order O
Merit was conferred upon her. She
was the first woman to be so honored
\ year later the freedom of the city
of London was bestowed upon her.
