Policy holders locally may receive the attention of the nurse by either notifying Miss Miller or P. J. Murray & Son, local agents for the company.

In other towns about the state, those being nearest including Rockville and Willimantic, the public nursing service has met with the hearty endorsement of the public. The nurse is regarded as a necessity and the work done by her receives the commendation and ap- proval of all the people including the medical profession. A call from the nurse, when slightly i'll, may mean the difference between a prolonged and disabling illness and a rapid re- eovery. The nurse is qualified to offer sound advice and to instruct in the manner of applying aid to ills. When i'll or hurt do not hesitate to call the nurse and do not delay. A visit from a kind, efficient and capable person, such as the recommenda- tions and appearance of Miss Miller proclaim her to be, will help towards rapid recovery.
