Excerpt from Eye, Ear, Nose, and Throat Nursing While this little book has been written primarily for the use of nurses, students and general practitioners will, we believe, find it of great assistance to them also. It is not a treatise in any sense of the word, but is meant simply as a guide for the intelligent care and nursing of the vari ous diseases of the eye, ear, nose, and throat, and to in struct the nurse as to her exact duties during and follow ing operations upon these organs. Antisepsis and asepsis have received particular atten tion, since, above all, the nurse should know the all-impor tance of surgical cleanliness. The methods of preparing the numerous antiseptic and sterile solutions and dressings have been given in detail, while the various remedies re quired in the treatment and nursing of these special organs, their preparation, sterilization, and exact method of application, have been considered fully and most care fully. In fact, we have endeavored to show the nurse how to do things and correctly, because, in treating such deli cate organs as the eye, ear, nose, and throat, the good results obtained depend fully as much upon the intelligent and painstaking care of the nurse as upon the work of the physician himself.
