PERSONAL HYGIENE 

 AND HOME NURSING 



A Practical Text for Girls and 

 Women for Home and School Use 



By LOUISA C. LIPPITT, R. N. 



Assistant Professor of Corrective Exercises, 

 University of Wisconsin 



THE purpose of Miss Lippitt's book is to explain the 

 means by which girls and women may attain health 

 and happiness in the present and lay the foundations for 

 sane and vigorous lives in after years. In clearest terms 

 it lays down practical instructions for the conduct of their 

 daily lives. Not only are the rules set out, but the reasons 

 which underlie them are made clear. Directions are 

 given for preventing the spread of infection from cases 

 of communicable disease; and instructions are furnished 

 for the care of one's self and one's family in cases of 

 accident or sickness. The author has desired to keep the 

 book rather brief, and for this reason has introduced 

 only those topics on which women and girls seem par- 

 ticularly to need instruction. 



The text is adapted for use as a beginner's book for 

 classes in hygiene and home nursing in high schools, 

 colleges and schools for nurses.
