Excerpt from Lectures on Home Nursing for the PoorTwice I have given these lectures in my district, mainly to working girls. At the examination held afterwards the answers to questions drawn at ran dom were generally correct and detailed. I have also found good results from them in my district.They are based on my experience Of Sickness amongst the poor, and a knowledge Of what can be done under their conditions, and What cannot be done. Those limits make the difference between private and district nursing. But an immense amount Of unnecessary suffering would be prevented, many complications, too, and many lives saved, if the simple teaching Of these lectures were under stood generally by the poor.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
