![Many nurses are not so wise in their own conceit, however, but that they would gladly avail themselves of an opportunity to gain more information concerning their various and respon- sible duties, provided they could have access to a volume of instruction adapted to their wants, containing plain and intelligible reasons for many things which they are called upon to do, as well as for abstaining from many others which they are warned not to do. It is intended that the following chapters shall contain such instructions and explanations as will materially aid all those who are conscientiously seeking knowledge in this most important branch of woman's work. The object of the author is to eleTiote the nurse^ by imparting satisfactory information concerning all that it is essential for her to know and to do in her capacity as such. And while this little book is not designed to prepare any one for the practice of midwifery, it is hoped that a careful perusal of its pages will ii]crease the mutual respect of nurse and physician for each other. This desirable end can only be attained after a thorough under- standing of their respective duties and respon- sibilities. A few plain words on this point.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21047017_0013.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
