This work will, it is believed, supply a present reed for training 

 schools. It is distinctly a text-book for training schools as distin- 

 guished from a text-book for nurses, and its arrangement provides 

 tor all the recitations in a two years' course. The first volume is 

 divided into thirty recitations or chapters, and includes anatomy, 

 physiology, hygiene (and allied subjects the atmosphere, ventila- 

 tion, etc.), the sick-room, infection and disinfection, observation of 

 symptoms, clinical recording, etc. Its arrangement is based upon a 

 graded system of teaching ; the first volume being adapted for the 

 first year's course. The second volume completes the course and 

 provides for every subject usually taught by recitation in schools for 

 nurses, leaving no requirement for auxiliary books. In fact the two 

 volumes furnish completely all the requirements of the training 

 school for a text-book. 



4 ' It is an admirable piece of work. It is written very clearly, and 

 in language which can be very readily understood by the nurse. It 

 covers the whole ground, and contains a great deal of matter not to 

 be found in other books, and with the adoption of this book other 

 text-books will not be required for the training school." Dr. G. 

 ALDER BLUMER, Medical Superintendent of the Utica State Hospital. 



"We believe this treatise will be adopted as a text-book in every 

 training school in the country. Its excellency is such as to justify 

 this belief, and surely training schools cannot afford to dispense with 

 the best." Btiffalo Medical Journal.
