Trained Nurses in Great Demand.

Princess Christian has issued as appeal for nurses who are willing to devote thomselves to the care of patients who may be siezed with cholera, and to obey the call of duty at a moment’s notice. Her Royal Highness says: “The Invasion of our country by one of the greatest of human scourges calls for the concentration of all the resources whioh science, forethought, and energy can enlist. I am happy to know that the public departm 'nts, forewarned and forearmed, have already taken such steps as must remove all ground for unreasonable panic, and secure, not only the confidence, but also the welfare of the public. To their hands the execution of hygienic precautions and the organization of medlcui relief may well bo trusted; but there remains a sphoro of aotivlty whioh it is the special office of women to fill. The trained nurse should be found at the side of every strloken victim, whether rich or poor. This end cannot be attained without careful and intelligent organization."
