A NEW BOOK FOR WOMEN

I he need that so many women feel for a book of simple, clearly expressed information on Home Nursing has been well met by a useful little volume, entitled “Home Nursing,” by Isobel Haresnape, issued by the Unity Press, Auckland. The principles of sick-room routine, general nursing, and emergency treatment are clearly expressed, and there are also useful notes on food values, invalid cookery, and special dieting. The language used is not too technical, and while meeting the need of the inquirer, does not require that searching and unhealthy “poring over” or information which so many books of this kind do. Simple but minute directions for treatments are given, so that a woman with no training in nursing can readily follow them. The little hook should prove invaluable to many lonely women in back-districts, where the services of a doctor are not easily obtained.
