It Is an absolute impossibility to make nurses or to glvo any complete Idea of nursing In the course of three IlCCCUrCS) UUl I Ut)ili:v: ll n iMsmuiu to glvo a sufficient description of certain cssentlnls ot the sick room, the niepnraljdn and care or tlio beM and of tlio gonoial observation or tlio Blck patient that will of great benefit to anyone who has the time and will help In this emergency. It was decided to call this organization organi-zation "Tlio Ontario Emorgcncy Volunteer Vol-unteer Heqltli Auxllllary." That Is rather a long naino for common use and It was thought advisable to consider con-sider this to bo an S. O. S. fiom the Health Department, and that those who took tho course should bo known as "Slstors of Service." Wo villi havo a dlsilnctlvo badge for the holpors, Bomothlng on the plan, of the National Service Radge, that will bo given to those who havo actually ac-tually engaged In service aftor they have taken the courso. ' I think It Is necessary before wo can understand anything or proparo anything , such as a machine much less the human body, that wo know a little bit of. Its construptlon. Wo aro not going to attempt to learn anything of tho entire human body. Wo will not oven talk of an' anatomy or. physiology; wo aro only" going to speak vory briefly of tho parts of the human body that are likely to be affected by influenza. We aro banded band-ed together to fight this disease, which seems to affect chiefly tha respiratory organs, and wo aro vory much Concerned with tho heart's action. ac-tion. This chart shows tlio location at least, of the organ? ot respiration. The organs of resplrclton are the nose and throat, the witidplpu and a two lungs. All tho Internal or-are or-are controlled by what wo call the sympathetic nervous system. I They are Involuntary muscles; they I do their work whether we are asleep I or awake, whether conscious or un-I un-I conscious, and the lungs are Con-I Con-I trolled In that way. Tho action of I the voluntary muscles ui well. I Breathing consists of tho art of tak-I tak-I lng air Into tho chest and tho letting I of It out. I I want you to notice and undor-I undor-I stand tho changes that tako plain In the chest. Notice tho movement of the chest In normal respiration, be-I be-I cause tt Is only then you ran rcrlg-Inlze rcrlg-Inlze tho significance of'ths abnor- mal. As soon as the aid is taken In- to tho chest, and the shoulders come back, the cavity of tho chest Is ec-tually ec-tually anlargod. Wh'in the nir Is I given out fro mthe '.lvnt the cavity of the chest decreases. Later od, when we come to speak of pneu-raonla, pneu-raonla, I will point out to you the difference In tho action of tho chest In diseased and In normal condi-Itlons. condi-Itlons. I It Is very Important that tho origans or-igans of respiration should be In as I good condition as doiiMIj that tho. air drawn iuto those envfties ttbouM be flltero 1 and thmoifghly cleaned. The' nose Is the part ot the body through which nature Intended the air to enter .the body and the mu-parod mu-parod to fit tho air for nsBimllatlon in tho lungs. The "tiiuoius inoiii-brane inoiii-brane of the 'nose contains1 a num'-1 ber of glands which moisten and warm the air, arid a number of small .hairs which grow In a down-ward down-ward direction, by means, of which certain particles of -lust aro taken out of tho air before it passes into tho noso. If ono wishes to form lanyr Idea of how much work those small hairs perform, and .of the secretions from the nose, blow your nose and look at your handkerchief aftorwards upon aomo windy day, You -should tako tha precaution f - Bc'canlng out these i:-i!iges. We should al least wash out our noses Humcientiy otton to temove tnepe Ittle particles of dust and germs that Biavo adhered to them. 1 ihlnlc that one of tho chlof precautions tjiat vou should tako to avoid getting Bven the disease yourself any time k Hfchave been out whero there are ' HHlmber ot people.

The air hat H nasbed thrniiRit tb i n )i Is usually protly lu uti " to vnti tha lungs. The human body It often compared compar-ed to an onglno, and I know ot no more apt Illustration, because the 'human body has to keep up a certain cer-tain amount of energy, ml If an engine en-gine Is to keep up steam that engine must bo stoked, and the blood stream Is tho stoking matcnsl, and tho heart Is tha pumping station There must bo pure li In the lungs It U an absolute essential, both In health and dlvease, If theie is to bo any chanco whnUvor glen to your patient. We catt Hvo for throe weaks without food, days without drink, but only a few minutes without with-out ovjgon, an dlt Is obtained from tho nlr wo breatho and If havo plenty of oxjgen In the lung- when the blood comes from tho tight sldo of tho heart through the lung's, tho carbon dl-ovlde Is givon off and the osygsn of the air taken up, and tho blood is purified and the wasto matter is taken off. Where or you stoke, wherever ou have tire, thoio must be waste material to remove Thro Is one thing I want to t'm-phaslze t'm-phaslze the fact that the clicu-lfttio clicu-lfttio not tlw blood takes place through a scrlos of closed tubes and these tubos aio full of liquid all the tlnv, but it Is kept cli dilating In ineso moos ny mo contraction or tne heart. If you foico liquid Into a tube that already is full jou feet tho Impact Im-pact all tho way along tho mln trunk of tho artery. What about the heart's action? Now tho pulse, of rourto, is cad'od by tho bot of the hcait, and by feeling the pulso wo can tell the condition con-dition of tho heart, tho iegul.rlty with which It boats, whether the" boat is full and strong," whither chore scorns to bo an equal quantity of blood foiced out by each beat. It Is'very Important to understand tlio absolute necessity of halng froh air for tho patient to breathe so (bat theio, may be plenty of fresh nlr In tho lungs. It thero is not tlio patient lose) vitality and In practically ecry disease, and vory especially In this, and certainly in any case ot pneumonia, pneu-monia, to keep up tho patient's vitality vi-tality Is tho Important thing, nnd fresh air Is ono o ftho essentials of that. When you go home, stnnd In front of your mirror with vouv clolhos loosened, nnd tnko a good, full broath, and notice how your ohett expands under normal conditions and then you will really ' recognize tho abnormal. If we wore going to tnko caro of a case in this city, we would try to select a sick room, that is conveniently conveni-ently situated, and I am going to talk In theso classes almost more from the standpoint ot tho country home and women than from the city home. I am one of the fortunate people who know both, having been brought up 1 na country home, a thing for which I am always thankful, thank-ful, and of which lam also proud. I know conditions In tho country, and there will probably be a good many from this class who will be called upon to- render service In a country homo. I would ask you to select a room conveniently sltuatod to tho toilet and bath. Theso aro conveniences which we have In vory few country homes. Dut select a room conveniently conveni-ently situated from the standpoint of b.eln gablo to look after tho patients pa-tients and get tho necessities for thorn, but bo vory careful that you select no that does not enter Into any of tho living rooms, because you want to Isolate your patient and keep tho patient separate from tho other mombers of the household. Always Al-ways try to select a room with a south or southeast exposure, If at all possible. Nothing else has a hundreth part of tho valuo of both as a disinfectant and health giving agency than the direct rays of the sun have, and It you can get plenty plen-ty of sunshine In the sick room It U Quite invaluable, But .wo want M UtO the room at a time XMB tt 4 acceptable to your patient. pa-tient. Patients who are very 111 aro usually restless In the early part ot the night and pass into their soundest sound-est sleep in the early hours of the morning. If you havo a room that faces the .east, you have to-run tho risk' of the patient awakening or draw the blinds and loso the effect of the sun's rays, whereas, if you have tho room wjth a south ,qr south 'west exposure In the afternoon when the patient feels tired or depressed let your blind go to tho top and flood the room with swnshlnd, and the effect ef-fect Is almost magical No disease germ can stand tho direct rays ot the sun for any length of time;. I see by the newspapers they havo succeeded suc-ceeded In isolating tho germ of tlw Spanish Influenza. Thero wero nd particulars glvon, but we know, as tkq Irishman says, when onle they get him singled out and get him out into tho clearance, they will soon get a cracK at mm, or a serum tor Inoculation or eomo specific that will meet the needs of this disease Wo have fated nnd mot many other emergencies, and many a dlBeaso moro deadly than this, but tho sun's rays will destroy any known gorm. Then try to select a room that can bo vontllated and every room can bo ventilated If you think r.o nnd Insist on doing It. Insist on doing It That Is on or tho things that you will havo to do In ninny of tho homes you go to. Try to convlnco the household. Do some real mission woik and convince tlioni that they will novel got n cold from fresh air. K Is ery much easier to keep a houEOwarm that has plenty of fresh air In It than a houso closed up and full of stalo Air. You need oxygen to get heat. You can get plonty of frosh air to outer any loom, without n. draught, and If you huva one or two windows In tho 100m you can provldp for good ventilation. Al- wvs try to hae the fresh a'r " ur from ns near the celling as possible. Havo the wlifdow down from tho top If there Is only tho ono window and up from tho bottom, but put something some-thing in at the bottom of tho window so that the curt ant ot nlr will bo directed upwards, thon It will pns over and gradually filter down through tho nlr In the room, mllug with It. keeping up the circulation, but not cnifsing n draught on anyone Of comae tlu? sick loom nuat be thoroughly cleaned Always try and hae l emoveil from that joouv oVery thing that Is unnecessary. Don't have catpota tackod ou tha floor; thoy nro nevor lelinble. 1 say "try" because 1 dqu't tliluk It would be wise to go luto a home where people aie already slek In bed and InsNt on having the carpet takn up. but If you so fortunate enough to hao tha preparing of UiO sick room, tiy and lmvo the carpft lomoved, ,tho floor ?crubbed and everything that Is not washable r-movjil r-movjil fiom the room, so that ttioio w'l! be as 11U5 work to be dor.o as po'slblo, because the mo"" work that Is done in a sick loom) the moro ot our patient's energy Is being needlessly need-lessly used up. for eon though the patient Is akuply lying thore, If there is somebody working In the loom it takes some of his nervous onotgy; and tho moio things there aio In n loom tho more dancer thorp is of germs beluprend ntiout n the air. Keep our room just as clean nnd heat and fieo fiom unnecessary things as possible In tho selection of a bed If possible have a slnglo I bed with a motal frame or a pi Uu, wooden framo; but havo It In such a position in tho loom that tin attendant at-tendant can go to all sides ot It. J'laco tho bed In such a position that tho patient Is not looking Into a light, clthm Into a window or an artificial light let tho light fall from tho head of tho bod on anything any-thing thnt tho patient may wish to road or on the tray. If you havo to nuiso a patient In a loom with only ono small window, how aro you to do It? I would say? havo tho window raised from tho bottom, placo something across It In, such a way as to pr.ovent a draught blowing acio-s tho patient, and, ns I sld before, be suro tht tho bed Is In such a position that you can got to all sides of It. Thou get a pleco o fwhlto oilcloth or a sheet, nud put several thicknesses of paper between be-tween tho folds of tho sheet and put It over tho head of tho bed In this way. Bring It around aud tuck It under tho mattress ltko that. You can seo what a neat little hood It makes over the top of tho bed, allowing al-lowing a good circulation ot air, but preventing any draught from striking strik-ing tho aptlent. In doing this you must be very cai etui to tuck it under the mattress, because It you do not there would be a little draught strike the patient. Then you must isolate your patient. pa-tient. Isolation taken In quite a good deal, and it is not always very easy to carry out. Take the patient "away from tho rest of the family, and try tb .prevent anyone, except those taking caro ot tho patient, from entering the room. In many homes probably tho greatest difficulty difficul-ty will bo to succeed in keeping out HIV ivv VU, VI ,UU JUW UUfe HiUIUUb causing offonse, but you must do It becauso any of theso furiy animals may scatter a great deal of Infection. Aftor jou havo nursed for a llttlo while you will appreciate why I em-phaslzo em-phaslzo this point. A cat or a dog that Is accustomed to coming Into the room and perhaps sleeping on tho bed ot his master or mistress Is very difficult Indeed to deal with. They aro always under your, feet nnd It Is -very important to make others in tho household realize that they should bo banished. In Isolating a patient you must select ovorythmg that Is necessary In tho caro of tho patient and bring It to the sick room, and, you must insist upon keeping theso in tho Blck room. Articles of this kind must not bo taken to other parts ot tho house and must not be used by other people. In tho country home you mifst get a wash basin and vessels ves-sels to contain water, a vessel Into which soiled water can be put as well as those necessary to tho comfort com-fort of the patient. It Is quite necessary nec-essary that In all these cases you should do away with any unnecessary unneces-sary woik and with any avoldablo danger of Infection. Wo understand now that unless you como in contact con-tact with the germs as they leave tho body of the patient those germs aro harmless; they are harmhs3 while they are moist, but as soon as they become dry they are carried In tho air and that Is tho way disease dis-ease Is spread, Thoroforc, It Is necessary, nec-essary, t ooducate tho patient and the patlont.and tho people wjiom wc eorr.Q In contact and make them understand un-derstand thnt It Is contrniy to law to-cough or sneczo without covoilnc your mouth that It Is certainly very much against tho moral law to cause our brother to take Influenza than wc havo to do him any other haim. A person having this disease who coughs or sneezes fs sending a gieat many germs Into tho nlr and nnyono.who IS near enough may got them direct. Handkorchlefs mo a prolific sourco of infection. Tho handkorchlcf is ono of the danger signals of our country. Already In a good many states ot tho union they aro not allowed In the public schools. That Is a big step In advance and If thoio nro nnv toachcrs hero they will understand whnt It moans. I'robably tho child brings a few cookies In tho snmo pocket with the hnndkerchiofs and distributes them around, After n person has had a dlseaso things may bo disinfected or washed or put out on tho Uolhrts lino, but Is very sl-1 sl-1 dom that a pocket la disinfected. It Is much simpler and saner and moro desirable than on each desk thero f-bould bo a little paper bak and a packago ot small pieces ot crepo pa-, per which ni.n bo taken ns needed for blowing t . nose or expectorating expectorat-ing and then bumcAl.

Of coursotho dishes should be washed with warm water and soap, or scald ed or boiled, nnd they should always bo thoroughly boiled beforo they aro allowed to mix with the other dishes of tho houso. Make a practice of always al-ways putting n llttlo soap In the dish water, soap of any kind Is a germicide. germi-cide. Tho basins nnd towels, of course must bo kept In tho room, and you should bo ery careful that they aro never borrowed nor allowed to bo usod out of tho Blck room. Tho night clothing, bed clothing, sheets nnd towels should bo put through a disinfecting dis-infecting solution befoia they nro used nnd always insist on having plonty of disinfectant. But do not pin your faith to dlslnfcctantB half as much as to fresh air and sunshine sun-shine Nevertheless, a disinfecting solution should always bo usod'ln a chamber or bed pan beforo coming to tho patient; It Is pleasanter and snfor for both tho nurse nnd the ' patient.

I havo been asked about tho uso of liquor In cases wiioj.o tho patient objocts to It. I do Jiot think wo will uc uiueii irouiucti uy uiiu. i win ay that tho first essential of nursing nurs-ing Is Implicit obedience to tho 'doctor. 'doc-tor. If I wont out as a nurso I would follow tho doctor's orders. That Is a mu bo's duty If sho thinks tho doctor doc-tor Is In his right mind, and If ,not sho should Insist on consultation. I would not glvo liquor, but If I wero nursing for n doctor who ordoied It In a reaRonnbly quantity I'tninK I would glvo It. Ono lndy Informs hiq that somo ot tho landladies object to persons going go-ing out nnd nursing nnd then coming com-ing back to tho house. When you go out you will havo a wash dress and you are not likely to havo nny gorma on that anyway, and when yen have walked to the nursing or back, If your landlady does not contract con-tract tho dlseaso until It Is brought In that way I think she would be a vryy good risk for an Insuranco company. com-pany. In connection with this nursing It Is necessary that y6u should tako caro of yourself, because If you get ovor-tlrcdor loso too much sleep or aro careless In nny way, jou aro not rnir to,j'ourseir, your patient or your doctor and j'ou owo n duty to every one of them. You must koop yourself In tho best posslblo condition, nnd In order to do thnt j'ou must obnorve icgulnr habits as far ns posslblo. You must dross In wash di esses. If you wish to wenr n mask you may do so, and I think It 1b recommended. Tho mask Is made of a plco of gauzo doubled and put across tho fnco, covorlng tho noso nnd mouth bo thnt you breatho through It nnd tho go-nv Is prevented from gottlng nt your nostilln or In jour mouth, no vory careful to wash your hands ovory time you do nnythlng for the pntlont Bo very careful not to touch unnoc-03"niily unnoc-03"niily nny excieta from tho patient; pa-tient; do not handle tho dishes thnt havo been In tho mouth of tho pntlont pn-tlont until they havo been Bcaldod or washed In soap and water, and adwaj-s wash your hands carefully ev ery time you touch them or their bed. Avoid putting your hands to your face unnecessarily. That Is a habit which people havo nnd It Is a vory dangerous ono, If you ro caro-ful caro-ful about these ebsontlnls and havo plenty of fiosh nlr In the room, take oxcrclsp out of doors ovory day, havo your meals at regular times, and eat nourishing and easily digested di-gested foods 1 would say j'ou will bo very safe.
