Excerpt from Before the Doctor Comes<br/><br/>It may happen, when one in the family is sick, that a nurse is needed. Perhaps it is beyond the means of the family to employ one, or perhaps, especially in the country, none can be procured. Therefore, the family has to do the nursing. Nursing is an art in itself, and this book cannot, in a few pages, make skilful nurses. But there are points of nursing that have been fully described. The care of the sick, the keeping of the sick-room.
