Board Helped also assisted with the nursing of the sick regularly, often holding theneedles, scissors and instruments for the surgeons who gave their aid so might not have been quite so good for the patient, as the trained nurses servicesto which we owe so much, but it was mighty good for those who did the nursing,and ministered to the sick and dying. The experience there gained has built upcourage and endurance for some of us which many times have stood by us in hoursof trial or emergency. Ill:. SdllUA CONVKUT MYKliS (JOXKS),lU VEAUS.
