new baby. is like a piece of brie-a-
lirac. She is afraid to handle it
»£or’fear she might break it. The
first bath is such a fearsome or-
deal that it has becom: customary
it: the nurse who administers the
pro-natal care to come and give
‘13 little stranger his first good
hashing. _ .
j Education of this sort Is part of
file work of a visiting nurse. The
aid given sufferers of any sort
must always be a demonstration
is well, so that members of the
{3111in may continue the care.
The nursing service of the Met—
ropolitan Life Insurance Company
reaches 3,955 towns and citie: in
every state in the union and every
Irrovince in Canada. In the two
winter months of this year nurses
‘rsaie 424,986 calls at 109,395
separate homes. The nurses In more
Bees .. and
[remote sections lead the life of the
circuit rider travelling in their fliv-
vers over almost impassable roads
and often going on horseback or
on foot through wild country to
reach their destination. It requires
dogged determination and physical
strength to he enlisted in the ser-
vice and sometimes on the outskirts
of large cities the nurse will spend
precious hours tramping through
the mud to find a shack which is
on no street and has no number.
The account is endless of the
sickness and suffering caused by
the ignorance of people of the
poorer class and especially for-
eigners. One woman with five chil-
dren had neglected an infected fin-
ger. The nurse summoned by the
agent struggled through fields of
mud only to find that the woman
was sure it was nothing serious.
The' nurse insisted that a doctor
be summoned, but the woman did
not want to spend the money.

When the doctor finally came lie
lanced it at once and decla’f‘ed that
it was only just in time to prevent
the loss of the hand if not the
woman’s life.
Most of the womer are eager to
learn so that they 'may give
their children the best possible
treatment. One young mother,
with four small. youngsters, the
oldest of which was four years,
was especially clean and careful,
but measles invaded the home.
The three oldest children had it.
but the nurse said the baby needn’t
get it if the mother would take
proper precautions. This woman’s
day was not so full but that she}
could‘find time to follow instruc-‘
-ions to the letter; changin her
apron every time she tends the,
baby, keeping him isolated in at
separate room, boiling everything,
omitting no smallest detail. Eter-j
nal vigilance was the price of suc-
cess and the baby escaped.
