    contradictions, even a divided authority ? I think not. In the first place, the nurses who are keenest to learn are also, in my experience, the nurses who best appreciate the limits of their province, and who have intelligence enough to realize that, at best, a nursing training can merely skim the surface of the sea into which medical science ploughs deep. Moreover, that nursing service which is based on an uninformed and unenlightened obedience alone can never compare with that other, which, in addition to obedience, is quickened with understanding and warmed with the sympathy which comes from realizing difficulties and ap- preciating the skill that overcomes them. This latter sort, however, though eminently desirable, cannot be ensured without knowledge; and, as a small step towards its realization, this small handbook, written for the special use of nurses, and dealing with the diseases which lie within the practice of a physician, may be of use.
