Synopsis
Excerpt from The Nurse's Guide: Containing a Series of Instructions to Females Who Wish to Engage in the Important Business of Nursing Mother and Child in the Lying-in Chamber
I have written the following pages less with a view to create the business of nursing into an independent calling, than to impress those who engage in it with the importance of understanding their relations with a class of men who devote years to the acquisition of the science, and then exercise themselves for years beside, before they become masters of the art of healing.
