THE INTELLIGENT CARE OF THE SICK.

All women are "ministering angels
to those who are helpIessly i'll and
dependent upon them for every atten-
tion they require. Patients so graveiy
stricken need the services OF a trained
nurse, or, at the very least, OF
born nurse" There are women
whose instinct for nursing is so keen
that they always do the right thing
at the right time, and unless they
know what to do. they are wise
enough to do nothing.
heard the other day of family
that had not had a visit from ply
siCian for twenty years, during which
time there had been plenty of sick
ness. but the mother "gendsrmed"
them SO beautifully through it all that
a doctor was never necessary.
However, most of us must be told
things and learn 10 do things, and
there are endless things that can be
done by Intelligent home care before
the doctor comes, or that will save the
family a doctors bill.
Unless one is absolutely ineXper-
fenced, II is almost always possible to
determine within a few hours whether
a child or an older person who COM
plains of feeling sick is suffering from
temporary arrangement due to an in
discretion in diet, to foolish eX-
posure. etc, or il threatened with
something more serious.
Every well-regUlated household
should be provided with a clinieai
thermometer. an atomiEer fountain
syringe and a hot water bag.
1t is an easy matter to learn to
take the temperature OF the body. Care

eter. The best is always the cheapest;
