Our First Journey Is To Find That

Never To Allow A Patient To Be Waked, Intentionally Or Accidentally, Is A Sine Qua Non Of All Good Nursing.

The Only English Patients I Have Ever Known Refuse Tea, Have Been Typhus Cases; And The First Sign Of Their Getting Better Was Their Craving Again For Tea.

Go Into A Room Where The Shutters Are Always Shut (in A Sick-room Or A Bed-room There Should Never Be Shutters Shut), And Though The Room Be Uninhabited-though The Air Has Never Been Polluted By The Breathing Of Human Beings, You Will Observe A Close, Musty Smell Of Corrupt Air-of Air Unpurified By The Effect Of The Sun's Rays.

It Is The Unqualified Result Of All My Experience With The Sick That, Second Only To Their Need Of Fresh Air, Is Their Need Of Light; That, After A Close Room, What Hurts Them Most Is A Dark Room And That It Is Not Only Light But Direct Sunlight They Want.
