O.plLI Drat St.r "You will need a trained nurse I" Once those were om inous words, meaning that Ill ness In the home hnd become serious, acute; that home nurs ing was not good enough, that perhaps the doctor was expecting the worst. Now they are a matter of course. Into the modern home steps the nurse, giving comfort, assurance, speeding recovery, moving with deftness and tact through the phases of illness and convalescence. The trained nurse Is the physi cian's first lieutenant. She will make no mistakes, Is obedient, tireless, ever cheerful where cheerfulness is needed more than anywhere. ' Behind the scene works the third aide In health recovery the trained. ' skilled pharmacist. Refer all medication to such a man.
