nurse
In Mt. Vernon Under The
Associated Charities
In Doing A Vast Amount OF
Excellent Work

The directors of the Associated
Charities of Mt. Vernon met Tuesday
evening to transact miscellaneous
business and hear a partial report
from Miss Anna Bowling, the visiting
nurse engaged by the association, of
her work in Mt. Vernon.
The first weeks work in Mt. Yer
non has been very busy one for the
nurse. In that short time her SER
vices have been required in maternity
cases, pneumonia, cancer, tubercular
cases and she has had to do all that
was possible.
In order that the public may know,
the Charities desire a statement made
as to the duties Of the visiting nurse,
what is expected, what benefit is the
nurse and who can have her help.
The services of the visiting nurse are
not for any one class, but for all. She
is to work for the good Of the general
public health. 1t is her duty to care
for the sick in cases where another
nurse is not or cannot be employed
on account of the expense. The
nurses work is altogether under the
direction of the physician and she
does not attempt to take any of their
work, but to work with them. When
case is reported the family physician
is called first and the nurses work
thereafter is In conjunction with the
Doctors. The nurse is not only ex-
pected to call on the sick, but also to
make social calls and teach those, who
need it, to care for themselves.
Those concerned are much pleased
with the nurses work in looking after
and caring for some pretty bad cases
in Mt. Vernon in the past few days
Arrangements have been made SO
that telephone calls for the nurse, if
left at Taugher's drug store, will re-
ceive prompt attention.
