In hemorrhage, a cold diet should be given, such as milk, eggs, gelatin and custard. The nurse must insist in absolute rest and the patient should not be permitted to move until the danger of bleeding is over. Nervousness always accompanies hemorrhage, and the nurse can do much to allay this by assuring the patient that few people die from hemorrhage. In closing, it might be well to mention some points relative to the nurse's equipment, her mode of dressing, etc. Her dress should be simply made and washable. Aprons made of soft cotton crepe are recommended because of the small space they occupy in the bag. The contents of the bag, which should be lined with washable, removable lining, should include: Alcohol, tr. iodine, green soap, olive oil, boric acid powder, boric acid crystals, vaseline, cold cream, mouth wash, tongue depressors, adhesive plaster (3" wide), bandages, safety pins (small and large), applicators, scrub brush, face shields, probe, scissors (2 pair), forceps, thermometers (3), medicine dropper, bags of dressings, dressing towels, hand towels (2), apron. Because tuberculosis is so lasting and makes a family, ordinarily self-supporting, frequently dependent, it will be absolutely necessary for the nurses to have access to a loan closet. This closet should contain the following articles: Sheets and pillow slips, bed pan, blankets, rubber rings, gowns or pajamas, rubber sheets, tooth brushes, cold cream, rubber gloves, glass syringes, pus basins, enema bags, connecting tubes, rectal tubes, nurses' hand towels, surgical towels, instrument cases, aprons and gown, loan book. * * * * * Up to the present time the field nurses of the Dispensary Department of the Chicago Municipal Tuberculosis Sanitarium have taken care chiefly of ambulant cases, the total number of cases under observation in 1913 being 12,397, with 39,737 visits by nurses to positive and suspected cases in their homes. Lately (September 1914) the nursing force of the Dispensary Department has been increased to fifty nurses to take care of all tuberculosis cases in their homes, including advanced cases and those of surgical tuberculosis.
