In the meantime, until her return, tho department will be in charge of Nurse Mackinnon, Dr. King's experienced head nurse in Duncdin, whose succe-sful carrying out of his teacliing is well-known. All who come in contact with her should profit enormously by her instruction. The Society's nurse will always be available to co-operate with medical men in the treatment of babies, and letters and telephone messages Eent to her. at the Christcluirch Dairy. Tuam street, telephone 1127, will reach her, and will receive prompt attention. The price of the milk will be, 3d per pint bottle if one is taken daily, 2}d if two or more are taken.
