Those of us who have spent time
in hospitals realize that nurses are
about the most kind, considerate
and thoughtful persons in the
world. The members of no other
profession or occupation deserve
more of mankind's gratitude than
nurses. No mother could be more.
kind and considerate of her child
than most nurses are toward their
patients. Devoted nurses have
saved the lives of many patients.
Untold millions of people. have.
had it easier in hospitals because
of the merciful ministrations Of
kind hearted nurss. Nurses have
saved so may people from so
much suffering that no nurse
should ever be permitted to need
lessly suffer.
These thoughts were prompted
bv a pathetic letter from a des-
titute nurse who has spent nearly
half her long life nursing the
sick and the afflicted. Her sad
letter reads: $500. -...............
