[66] Miss Nightingale’s observations on whispered conversation in the room, or just outside the door, at p. 26 of her “Notes on Nursing,” have great value and a wide application. On these points in the management of the dying chamber Professor Paradys has the following: “Sed præterea adhiberi hoc loco moderatæ sensuum externorum impulsiones utiliter possunt, quæ vividiores phantasmatum impressiones obscurent: vitari itaque nimiæ tenebræ et silentia nimis alta debent, concedi contra modica lux, permitti notæ amicorum voces, immo excitari debent lenes, placidi, animum blande demulcentes affectus.” (p. 74.)
