THE LIFE OF THE BUSH NURSE.

The testimony from high officers in the Army Medical Corps at the front makes it clear that in personality, as well as in training, the Australian nurse is above the average. But all the capable and all the brave nurses have not left those shores.

One particularly able branch of the nursing profession —that is, the Australian Bush Nurses —is described in the May Issue of Everylady’s Journal, just to hand, and the tale arouses oue’s admiration for this noble band of women workers. The position of bush nurse is one which has its hardships, and even its perils, but judging from the accounts in Everylady’s Journal, it is one which has its glorious compensations, and its humours as well as its sorrows. The article is illustrated with a number of very fine photographs, and brightened with many capital stories. This is one of many special articles in the May issue of this popular journal, which also contains an instalment of a first-rate serial story, with a complete summary of the previous' chapter, so that a reader may begin the story at once and miss nothing. The free patterns and scores of fashion designs and money-saving articles are capital, as usual. Everylady’s Journal is sold locally for sixpence. If unobtainable, is fid in stamps sent to T. Shaw Fitchett, 376 Swanston Street, Melbourne, will bring the journal by post for three months, as a trial subscription.
