DISTRICT NURSE.

CAR URGENTLY REQUIRED. The Mary Raymond District Nurse Committee urgently require a car to enable the nurse to attend the increasing number of calls made upon her daily. These calls now number about 400 a month. Her services are at the disposal of all who cannot afford to pay for a trained nurse, and are unable to avail themselves of hospital treatment. Up to the present the nurse has been using her bicycle, and this puts a practical limit on the number of visits and a physical strain on the nurse which cannot be continued. Donations may be forwarded to this office or to' the' Rev. T. W. Potts, chairman of the Committee. All subscriptions will be acknowledged in the columns of this paper. Amounts received to date are—- £ s d
