THE PLUNKET NURSE.
HER WORK IN AUCKLAND. There are many tributes to tho good work being done in Auckland by Nurse Chappell, the Plunket nurse, and her assistant, in the training of mothers in the proper feeding of their infants. Though there has been a great deal of sickness amongst babies during the hot weather, some 30 or 40 fresh cases being brought to Nurse Chappell overy month, the customary ailments have not been nearly so prevalent as in former summers. Tho nurse has expressed high satisfaction with the way in which the mothers are attending to her directions, and she has instanced cases of women living in the very poor quarters who now make humanised milk themselves, and whose babies, through being fed upon it, have been transformed from mere skeletons into plump little mortals. A very large number of mothers with their first babies go to the Plunket nurse, and this not only from the poorer families, but from the well-to-do classes, • and all appreciate the services she is rendering.
