Book Description

American Red Cross Text-Book on Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick is a home nursing guide for the nursing profession and homemakers by Jane A. Delano and Anne Hervey Strong and it includes this passage: "To the woman who wishes to protect her family from preventable diseases and is anxious to fit herself in the absence of a trained nurse to give intelligent care to those who are sick, this revision of the Red Cross text-book on Elementary Hygiene and Home Care of the Sick is particularly directed. It should appeal to men and to women who are interested in maintaining the health of their neighborhoods and communities and in affording effective cooperation to the public health authorities. To teachers wishing to impart protective health information to high school pupils, the book also should be useful as a class text as well as a guide."
