Have a care! have a care! Have a care, I say! Don't touch the sterile things! Pray keep away! Go bring the patient in, Hand me some iodine. Donit keep me waiting! Do as I say. Get me a sterile ping Go bring the 'tic' case in. Although the third nurse knew Someone had blundered, Hers not to make reply, Hers not to reason why, Hers but to do and die! So with purpose deeply spurred, To her task she firmly set. She searched the laundry with utmost Ransacked closets, laid them bare, Unpinned sterile supplies there Searching for a tick case, while All the clinic waited. Wearied from her vain endeavor, She looked about for something better, Pillow and pillowcase She snatched from a nearby litter, Belated but triumphant, She there went back, but not- Not with the patient. irst Day in Clinic care, 03 Head nurse to the right of her, Surgeon to the left of her, Doctors all around her, Stammered and grumbledg Scowled at with looks quite fell, Boldly she came and well Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell, Came the third nurse. Head nurse to the right of her, Surgeon to the left of her, Cautery and Gigli saw Terrified her not at all, But scowled at with looks that tell Hopelessly her spirits fell, She that had tried so well! Then out from the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, Courage all bereft of her, Tottered the third nurse. What is that the sages say? By mistakes we shall assay To whatever we aspire. Then when can her glory fade? Oh, the thorough search she made! E'en tho' the clinic waited. Honor the search she made! Honor the tender maid, Encourage the third nurse! Her worth is underrated!

From the month of A ril l9l7 until the month of March of the following year, the , P 7 i . i V buildings of the University Hospital were overrun by innumerable organisms of a new and ? unknown species, whose only common characteristic seemed to be their brilliant green hue. This led some scientists to :believe that they might be classed as chlorophyl, or green plants, and, therefore, independent in manner of life, until, by a code known as Hospital x Etiquette, they were compelled to manifest at an early date various forms of dependency. The characteristics of these organisms were so varied that any attempt at classification V has been found impossible. After enduring the storms of 'fAnatomy', and HBandaging, mm, and weathering the rough winds of 4fMateria Medica, these organisms began to assume a peculiar color-a faded blue check, which gradually became paler,, until, suddenly April l, l9l9, they changed to a vivid blue hue. A Q M s In spite of the uncertain knowledge concerning them, in regard to which there was no definite information, scientists predict, that if 'unhampered by the obnoxious organism ' '4Suspension,', within twelve months this color will become a paler hue, until finally, weak g ,y in pulse, and neurotic in temperament, thes-e organisms will fade into snowy whiteness, 1 4 and be disseminated through the world, some to become 'l'parasites, some Uhospitalitesf' 7,2 ,Q O and others just plain sites. , Q5 -2215 ,, 'Ji i if :af :': ai QM? i A ' E- 4- twff?
