PAGE THRKK, PENDLETON'S WOMAN DOCTOR 0 S G rim M IN Ul The follnwIiiK Interesting article on the duties und treatment of the pro fessional nurse wan written for the Sunday Oregonlan by Dr. Amy Currln of Pendleton, tho only practicing womun physician, excepting the oi-le-0mthH, In eastern Oregon. While the urllcle deals with a sub ject which belongs to the professions entirely, yet the trained nurse und her duties should be fumlllar to all as sickness visltH even the most remote purts of the country and comes at un expected times. The Must Oregoninn takes pleasure in presenting to ItH readers thlB brief review from Dr. Currln, who In u trulneil nurse uh well ns a practising flslclan: Whi n necessity demands the em ployment of a professional nurse in the home, many people are at a loss to know how to treat her, or what to do with her, and the hard life of the trained nurse In private work has be come proverbial, says Dr. Currln. .Many are the tales of experience which they can tell nurses who were provided with the yellowest of laun dry soap for the face and hands, Bhort, rickety lounges to sleep upon nurses who literally hud to herd the family of youngsters out of the moth er's sick room, and nurses who have had to establish u system of disinfec tion from floor to ceiling before at tempting to care for the patient. All this need not be necessary In the majority of rnw, as It comes from lack of management and knowl edge. Very often the poorest of families are most highly appreciative of the trained nurse and her ways, while others having plenty look upiii her as a high-salaried hired .-'lrl and there fore expect her to keep vigilant watch 20 hours out of the 24, wnether It is necessary or not, In order to earn 13 a day. Neither Is the nurso a washer woman, nor cook, nor nursery maid, tho the very rich may bestow gifts upon her for extru services pretty much as they would tip a colored por ter. Still another class of people regard the nurse as a trained granny and all the neighborhood flock to her for herbs and recipes. Hut If she be con scientious she will not be long Inform ing them that her duties lie outside the field of prescribing, which she leaves to the physicians. The nurse should have exclusive care of the patient and nothing more to do. That Is usually sufficient to keep her busy. On the other hand, she is not a guest and If left to herself will take are that she Is very little In your way. Preparing to receive tho nurse, you should provide a room for her, If pos sible, separate from the one occupied by her patient or other members of the family. Here she ran lay the fe'w toilet articles and wcnrlng apparel which she- brings with her. and during those odd moments when she can leave the patient, finds It a place for total relaxation, that rests her more than hours spent In the presence of the family or patient with tho Impos sibility of being alone. For the bet ter the nurse feels herself, the better work she will be nble to do. Her bed. whether It be a cot In the patient's room or an ordinary bed, should be comfortable and clean, with sheets and spread und extra comforts IT. PAYS I 1 Fir-ilmilf of Boi to buy MENNEN'S BORATED TAL- CUM because of its perfection and purity. Butitdoe not pay to sell MENNEN'S POWDER nearly as well, as it pays to sell an imperfect and impure substitute which, costing about half the cost of MEN NEN'S, yields the dealer double profit. The "just as pood" with which some dealers try to palm off a substitute is true any way. If it's only "just as good " for the dealer why push the sale. If it's only 'just as good " for the buyer why risk aa unknown preparation for MENNEN'S. There's nothing just as good as MEN NEN'S BORATED POWDER, and the dealer who says there is, risks bis customer's skin and safety to make aa extra profit on a sale.

She should be provided with towels for her own personal use and wash basin anil pitcher in homes that are without bathroom nnd flx t u res. The trained nurse thus provided for will take cure of herself with out interfering with the family and at the same time will have the feeling of contentment that court with the opportunity to attend to her personal appearance and baths, which Is a part of every nurse's routine. Then there are the things which she requires for the patient. A plentiful supply of clean sheets, towels anil nightgowns should be placed at her disposal. Most of the superfluous 'articles of furniture nnd decoration should have been removed from the room and a broom, dustpan and dust cloths left conveniently near. The nurse will then brush up any dust or dirt ns It gathers and ovoid the necessity of a regular cleaning during the time the patient Is 111 unless, of course, It be a very prolonged illness. Soap and sapolin should be provided for cleaning the vessels used about the patient, and n place for them to he kept In the bath room or outhouse. If the nurse prepares the patient's diet, allow her to select from the pan try such articles, like small sauce pans, etc., that she will need nnd set them to one side, together with the tray nnd dishes used by the patient. Then y.ou do not have medicine glasses mixed with the drinking cups, and In this way the nurse conducts n one-patient hospital In your home without trouble or anxiety on your part. Then, too, remember that she should have a little time out of doors every day, and when relieving her for this purpose try to farry out her methods as strictly as she does thoze of the doctor. Occasionally people steal these op portunities to bring In forbidden vis itors or to feed the slek one some extra dainty which when discovered by the vigilant nurse cut short her walks In the open nlr because she! feels the responslbllty of her patient's life resting upon her hands, and. tho she cannot dictate to the family, she will fight If need be for that patient's welfare. . Tho fact that your slek one Is re ceiving the best and most skilful care should be worth all the money paid to a nurse, so let her stay in your home, be as pleasant and agreeable as possible and make her work as eazy as you can.
