Public Health Nursing Association
Does Big Work


Three babies who were not expect
ed to live have a new lease on life
since they have been under the care
of the Public Health Nursing associa-
ton.
One baby is a little Mexican, who
rivals any baby ever born in the city
in his diminutive size, who is SO small
and delicate that it is almost neces-
sary to put him under a glass case, is
growing and getting stronger under
the careful feeding and supervision
of the public health nurses. He was
prematurely born. his mother is at the
tuberculosis sanatorium. and it was
thought that his chances for life were
very slim.
Another baby that had had pneu-
monia with two relapses, was just
about to draw his last breath, when
the nurses became interested in him.
Their care strengthened him and he is
now making regular visits to the clinic
and daily gaining in health.
A baby greatly underweight for his
tender years, or weeks, whom moth
ing seemed TO help, who suffered from
baby collie excruciatingly until its par
ents gave it drugs to stop the pain. was
rescued by the association and is on
the road to health, altho a feeble

Not only sick babies come to the
free clinic Thursday afternoons.
Mothers are welcome to bring their
well babies to the nurses and doctor
for examination, and many babies rec
ords show normal health in every way.
Sixteen babies attended the clinic
last Thursday afternoon, according to
the report of Miss Mary Alexander,
supervisor of the. public health nurs-
ing association. Ten of the babies
!, had never been present before. while
six of them were returned after previ-
Gus visits
