DISTRICT NURSE.

APPEAL FOR FUNDS. To the Editor of the “ Timaru Herald.” Sir,—The time has again arrived to remind the citizens of Timaru that the District Nurse is rendering highly efficient and sympathetic service in their midst free of cost, to people who need attention in their homes, and who are not required to enter the hospital. The class of people treated are old people, chronic invalids, accidents, families of the workers, that is, all who need skilled attention such as washing, dressings, and duties their medical advisers may require, and who are unable to pay nursing fees for home service. The Committee find that the work of an undoubtedly imperative kind has increased tremendously. The people of Timaru. once acquainted with the nature of the work that is being done in the town, are generous enough to see that the old folk and sick folk are not neglected in the time of utmost need. The Committee is confident of response worthy of our townspeople to the appeal now made for funds. As we are not entitled to a Street Day this year, the Committee urgently appeals to the public for support. Will old subscribers please continue their donations, and will the many others of this town, who are able to help, enter upon this campaign of humanitarian service, and send their contributions to the hon. secretary, Miss B. Fussell, Russell Square. All donations will be acknowledged in the columns of this paper as soon as possible. I remain on behalf of the Committee:— MARY RAYMOND. Donations Received. £ s. d.
