TO OUR READERS. As some of our readers may need help during the next few hot months we are publishing a complete list of the Plunket nurses throughout the Dominion. The services of the nurses are free to all, but the branches of the Society are always glad to welcome new members, and we trust that those who feel they have benefited by the advice and assistance of the nurses will join the Society and thus stake part in extending its usfulness. 8 he annual subscription is ss, but many members give more than this.
