HYGIENIC PROTECTIVE SUGGESTIONS. 



the "worthy" are always given the fruits of 



their labor with all kindly appreciation. But 



let us remember, also, that there is an inborn

 every nurse who ever becomes in any true sense 



of the word worthy and a success. Such 

 nurses enter the training-school with heart and ' 



soul and mind aglow, with hands ready and 

 willing accurately to perform the most trivial 

 or the most difficult tasks with equal care and 

 promptness. Physicians' orders are carried out 

 promptly and accurately and are "charted" 

 neatly and concisely. At the expiration of the 

 case while in hospital service each chart is filed 

 away with other hospital records. In private 

 practice these charts are the property of the 

 physician in charge, and are given to him at the 

 close of the case. These nurses never forget that 

 the patient's chart is a history of the case to 

 which at some future time the physician may 

 need to refer; therefore, every symptom is ob- 

 served carefully and is recorded faithfully. 

 Their patients always look well cared for ; their 

 hair, teeth, tongue, finger-nails and all parts of 

 the body are immaculate ; their beds dainty and 

 sweet, and every square inch of the sick rooms 

 or wards over which they have charge is as 

 neat and clean and trim as human hands and 

 observant eyes can make them. Use of solu- 

 tions in communicable diseases is never forgot-
