PREFACE 



It is presumed that the pupil nurse, for whom this 

 book has been compiled, is familiar with the writer's 

 Anatomy for Nurses, and has a similar knowledge of 

 physics and chemistry. Technical terms have been em- 

 ployed, without full explanation, upon this assump- 

 tion. A brief appendix containing an outline of some 

 physical and chemical phenomena has been added for 

 those who have not received a proper introduction to 

 these subjects. 



In the preparation of the work we have chiefly re- 

 lied on the work of Luciana, Howell, Pearce-Macleod, 

 Jones and Bunce, Mallet's Syllabus of Chemistry, 

 Ganot's Physics, and Bliss and Olive's Physics and 

 Chemistry for Nurses. The work is an elementary one 

 and has no claim to originality except in arrangement 

 and treatment.
