    PRACTICAL POINTS IN NURSING. For Nurses in Private Practice. By Emily A. M. Stoney, Graduate of the Training for Nurses, Lawrence, Mass.; Superintendent of the Training-School for Nurses, I arnej Hospital, South Boston, Mass. 456 pages, ham illustrated with 73 engravings in the text, and 9 colored and half-tone plates. Cloth. Price, 51.75 net SECOND EDITION, THOROUGHLY REVISED. In this volume the author explains, in popular language and in the si possible form, the entire ranoe of private nursing as distinguished from hospital nursing, and the nurse is instructed how best to meet the various em 1 medical and surgical cases when distant from medical or surgical aid or when thrown on her own resources. An especially valuable feature of the work will be found in the directions to the nurse how to improvise everything ordinarily needed in the sick-room, where the embarrassment of the nurse, owing to the want of proper appliances, is fre- quently extreme. The work has been logically divided into the following sections: I. The Nurse: her responsibilities, qualifications, equipment, etc. II. The Sick-Room: its selection, preparation, and management. III. The Patient: duties of the nurse in medical, surgical, obstetric, and gyne- cologic cases. IV. Nursing in Accidents and Emergencies. V. Nursing in Special Medical Cases. VI. Nursing of the New-born and Sick Children. VII. Physiology and Descriptive Anatomy. The Appendix contains much information in compact form that will be found of great value to the nurse, including Rules for Feeding the Sick; Reci] Invalid Foods and Beverages; fables of Weights and Measures; Table for Computing the Date of Labor; List of Abbreviations; Dose-List; and a full and complete Glossary of Medical Terms and Nursing Treatment. This is a well written, eminently practical volume, which covers the entire range of private nursing as distinguished from hospital nursing, and instructs the nurse how hest to meet the various emergencies which may .'.rise and how to prepare everything ordinarily- needed in the illness of her patient.—American Journal of Obstetrics and Diseases of W men and Children, Aug., 1896.
