Woman Among POVeFty-Strickcn
M~ountaincers of Western North
Carolina, Whose Conditions Are
Only Il Bit Better Than That Of the
Most Savage People in the Universe
-Othe Clubs Items.
The great work of a little woman
during the past eight years in the
mountains Of Western North Carolina
has attracted the universal attention
Of lovers Of humanity, and incidentally
resulted IN a national organization.
The Oman is Miss Lydia Holman,
and the organization the Holman AS
ISOLATION. recently founded in Balti-
more by Mrs. Joseph c. Bloodgood.
DR.. William II. WEIGH, of John Hop
kins University is president Of the as
ISOLATION, which now has active COM
mittees in Baltimore, New York and
Pittsburg, while others are being
formed in Boston, Philadelphia,
Washington and other cities. .
In this city the work has been
taken up by the Woman's Southern
Society, Of which Mrs, Hugh Pendle-
ton Allen is president and a benefit
concert Will be given for the work Jan
uary IS, in Carnegie Music Hall, by
the Pittsburg Male Chorus, under the
auspices of the society.
Miss Holman. who is a trained
nurse by profession, was called eight
years ago to this region Of North Car
olina to care for IN invalid woman Of
means, and on the recovery Of her
patient, the mOuntaineerS. native born
Americans, thousands Of whom are
scattered among the mountains, en-
treated her to stay and help them in
their dire need. Doctors are almost
unknown there. the families are iso-
lated from the influence of civiliza-
ton and live under hygenic conditions
such as are seldom found outside Of
the worst Of city slums.
Miss Holman resolved to axe up
this voluntary missionary work be-
| cause OF the cry for help of the
mother and babies, and she has sery-
ed both as doctor and nurse, giving
her attention especially to maternity
cases. minor surgery, typhoid, pneu-
/ mOnia. rheumatism, tuberculosis and
even dentistry. She has attended sos
mother and babies, all of whom are
living. This is a remarkable record.
