The book is very fully illustrated and contains a number of questions for each chapter; also an extensive glossary, which includes a detailed explanation of all the chemical and physical terms used.

Over 50,000 copies of Practical Nursing had been sold up to January 1st, 1914. This new edition has been entirely reset, revised, and enlarged, and contains over 50 per cent. more material than the previous editions. An important feature of the new edition is, that the authors have not confined themselves to one method of treatment where experience has shown that other methods may be more effective in certain cases. Detailed instructions have been given, thus bringing the book in line with the latest developments in practical nursing.

“The work is interesting, valuable, and worthy of a position in any library.”—N. Y. Medical Record.
“It is written very concisely, and little can be found in it to criticize unfavorably, except the inevitable danger that the student will imagine after reading it that the whole subject has been mastered. The subject of therapeutics has been omitted as not a part of a nurse’s study, and this omission is highly to be commended. It will prove a valuable book for the purpose for which it is intended.”—N. Y. Medical Journal.
