the digestive organs, a great benefit TO suf-
ferers from the various ramihcations OF
what is commonly called sore throat, and
II is now being used in at least one hospital

recipes that have been evolved.

Two cupfuIs OF pineapple Juice. one cupful
Of sugar, half 'cupful Of boiling water. one
and 4 half tablespoons Of powdered gela-
tin, and two cupfuls OF whipped cream.

Let me come down to a few concrete

quite likely TO give utterance to some such

Such an experience ought TO have taught
you TO refrain from putting the inquiry
to an invalid and II you lack the expert

there who do not come gayly into the sick

Importance In comparison with the more
serious features Of nursing, but they often
have as much to do with the prompt ana

or OF one suffering from some small all

drink Of water without lifting his head from

know homes in which they send for
q trained nurse as they send for the doc
tor. and whenever any one Is III enough to
require the services Of physician a nurse
Is engaged just as prescription would
be filed.
For some reasons and in some cases the
practice is excellent. shudder to think
now many lives must have been sacrificed
in times past by the ignorance and well
meaning blunders OF the home nurse Al
most more painful TO consider is the amount
or needless suffering patients must have
undergone through careIessness and neglect
as well as stupidity. When an old and
feeble person can be tended and made com
Portable by the ministrations OF trained
nurse, when perhaps none of the house
hold has the strength or the skin 10 rem
der the necessary services. when disease
which demands constant wstchfulness and
ready initiative in emergencies-as is the
case in pneumonia, typhoid. and certain
other llnesses-has a man or woman In
fits clutches. then is the day and the hour
OF the trained nurse would be the
last one in the world TO belittle her value
in caring for the sick. in sparing the
strength and nerves OF the family. in sup
plementing the regimen prescribed by the
doctor.
At the same time I think what might be
called the trained nurse habit has impaired
the nursing faculty that at one time nearly
every woman was supposed TO possess.
The knowledge that trained nurse can
be secured in a real eXigency creates the
feeling that it is not worth while to bestow
much attention upon the details OF home
care Of the sick. AS a result, the moder-
stely III. the slightly sick do not receive
intelligent care and the only way TO be
properly looked after In an indisposition
IS TO be badly enough of to warrant hiring
help 10 care for you!
