Only within recent years has it been recognized by instructors in nurses' 

 training schools that an elementary knowledge of chemistry is indispensable if 

 students are really to understand what is taught them in the subjects of Maieria 

 Medica and Dietetics. This has rt-sulted in many states making chemi>try a 

 required study and it is rapidly becoming recognized, in an increasing number 

 of states, as a necessary part of the course. 



Up to the present, no textbook on elementary chemi'.try has been published 

 distinctly tor nurses. Dr. Ottenberg has, therefore, prepared this splcndiii little 

 book, which presents the subject, for the course in training schools, with s m- 

 plicity and thoroughness. The fault of the elementary textbooks on chemistry, 

 previously used in this course for want of a distinct te.xt for nurses, seems to lie 

 in the fait that tliey do not take up the special points without which a knowledge 

 of Dietetics or food values is impossible, while the more advanced te.xts are 

 entirely too difficult for nurses, since they presuppose an amount of preliminary 

 training which very few nurses have. 



It is believed that Chemistry for Nurses will fill a definite need, as pupil 

 nurses have repeatedly asked for a text-book to answer their peculiar require- 

 ments. 



Bacteriology for Nurses 



Including Schedule for Laboratory Exercises, etc. 

 By IS.^BEL McISAAC 



Superintendent United States Army Norse Corps; Author of " Hygiene for Nurses," etc 

 Second Edition. Revised. Cloth, illustrated, $ 1.25 



This is a completely revised edition of the well-known textbook which has, 

 for years, been ihe only book written distinctly for the use of nurses, and much 

 new material has been added. The author has carefully confined herself to the 

 needs of the c ass for whom it is intended and she has been singularly success- 

 ful in avoiding unnecessary digfression, making clear the practical as well as the 

 theoretical. 



The scheme of the original work has been maintained. There are chapters 

 on Structure, Mode of Development, and Composition of Bacteria ; The Effect 

 of Physical and Chemical Agents upon Bacteria, and the Kffects of Bacterial 

 Growth; The Relations of Bacteiia to Disease; Immunity; Inflammation, 

 Suppuration, Pneumonia, Epidemic Cerebro-Spinal Meningitis; Typhoid Fever 

 (Enteric Fever) ; Asiatic Cholera, Relapsing Fever; Infectious Diseases of 

 Unknown Cause, and Bacteria in Air, Soil, Water, and Food.
