Last vear we had our 1,000th maternity case since the Frontier Nursing ~Service started, and out of that number we had only one death, a young mother who had severe heart trouble. The nurses have given pre- natal and postpartum care in the course of dally rounds. They have cared for more than 2,620 babjes and 2,685 older children, besides numerous cases of sickness and accident, giving also inoculations against typhoid, diphtheria, influenza and smallpox. The Frontier Nursing Service is con- serving the health and the lives of th ands of people of the oldest American stock, who have been denied the medical care available to every immigrant in our American cities.

One of their most beautiful young nurses died last Sum- mer, having falled to notice the first warning symptoms of appendicitis. “Mrs, Breckenridge has now organ- ized a natioual program which she hopes will spread throughout the coun- | sible the constr try,” continued Miss Carson. It was explained that the Frontier Nursing Service is- supported purely by voluntary contributions, and its worth has been so generally recognized that, despite the economic depression last year, there were between six and seven hundred new contributors to the or- ganization.
