Nursing
The first part of this work deals with bacteriology, antiseptics,
disinfectants, deodorants, including the theory of _antitoxins_. The
second part is devoted to a careful treatment of surgical technic.
An important chapter is that giving you the list of instruments
and supplies needed for the various operations—_illustrated_. The
chapter on _bandaging_ covers 20 pages, illustrated with _33 clear
line-drawings_. Preparation of _artificial foods_ for infants and the
exact formulas for antiseptic gauze dressing, etc., are given.

LEWIS’ ANATOMY and PHYSIOLOGY
This work gives you the regions of the body, the internal organs, their
names, locations, functions, and the relation each bears to life.
The final chapter takes up repair and waste, nutrition, animal heat,
perspiration, and the power that supports and preserves health. At the
end of each chapter is a list of selected _review questions_, of great
help in self-examination. Throughout the book the _application_ of
anatomy and physiology to actual nursing is emphasized. There are 161
illustrations. Those showing the arteries, veins, and nerves are in
colors.

AIKENS’ PRIMARY STUDIES
Miss Aikens brings together in this book well-rounded courses of
lessons in anatomy, physiology, hygiene, bacteriology, therapeutics,
materia medica, dietetics, and invalid cookery—subjects which, with
practical nursing technic, constitute the primary studies in a nursing
course. Throughout the book there are many practical suggestions and
helps. The chapter on dietetics is really a monograph. At the end of
the book there are questions for self-examination, arranged by subjects.

AIKENS’ CLINICAL STUDIES
This work by Miss Aikens is written along the same lines as her
successful book for primary students. It takes up all the studies
the nurse must pursue during her second and third years in the
training-school. It gathers together in one volume matter previously
scattered in several books and often very unsystematically taught by
lectures. Here you get all this information stated in such a way that
the nurse will be able to grasp the subject with ease.
