TO OUR READERS. We publish below 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 nnd assistance of the nurses will join the Society, and thus take part in extending its usefulness. The minimum annual membership subscription is ss, but larger subscriptions are welcomed to enable the Society to extend its work. DIRECTOR OF PLUNKET NURSING: Miss A.
