"Of course we do a great deal of actual nurs

Dr. Stephenson finds that the natives invariably
prefer using ontments to clean dressings. Women
come in large numbers to get ointments for raw

them and they full of gratitude to the doctor.

WOE OF HINDOO WOMEN

that when he dies he shall not be cursed by be-

is the attitude of the native men Of India toward

who has been practicing medicine in India for
three years and who will return to her work
to go out there, the New York Evening Telegram
says.
s"I want the women here to realize what 1t
means to be born in America" she said recently.
ITO be born where woman is the backbone of
the man. his strength and help in every way!
Why out in Ahmednagar, where my work is,
woman is no more than an animal. She Is for
the purpose of raising children and that is all.
A man thinks more Of his cow-if he Is lucky
enough to have one-than he does Of his wife.
"a Hndoo husband will let his wife die before
he will call in a to give her medical or sur
gical treatment. That shows the need for women
physicians in the Orient"
In Ahmednagar, which is inland plateau
about hundred miles from Bombay, there are
TWO physicians DR.. Ruth Hume and Dr. Stephen

Spread of Christianity Threatens
Whole Structure of Hinduism

Hinduism is awakening to the fact
that if the great sub-strata of Hindu
society known as the depressed classes
be raised by Christianity, the whole
structure of Hinduism Is theatened
with overthrow. This awakening is
being followed by efforts in various
parts for the Improvement OF these
poor people. The latest is a move
ment in Ahmedabad. In that city, on
August g. meeting was held at
which the attendance of the depressed
classes was encouraged and in which
they were allowed to sit beside caste
people. Resolutions were passed for
the formation of Central Hindu asso-
citation. which should have for it's OBJ
jects the raising of the depressed
classes and their readmission into
Hinduism after being converts to for

adopted for realizing these objects,
the following suggestions were made:
(a) Starting schools, clubs and asso-
Citations; (b) establishing preaching
missions; Co publishing papers,
periodicals, magazines and leaflets;
(d) adopting such other means as may
be conducive to the above objects.
