LENA PETERS is in Portage la Prairie, Manitoba, doing private nursing.

H. M. Johnston, Hildebran, N. C., is secretary of the Medical Department of the North Carolina Conference.

An error was made a few weeks ago in these columns in stating that Miss Iva Holland had connected with the Pennsylvania Sanitarium as head lady nurse. Miss Alida Price is head nurse in that institution, and is assisted by Miss Holland.

The following word comes from J. A. Morrow, Hamilton, Bermuda Islands, in a letter of January 21: "At present we have no medical workers in this field. I believe that a good nurse would do well here. Bermuda is quite a winter resort for tourists and health seekers, both from the States and from Canada. It would seem to me that this would make Bermuda a good point for a nurse to locate. We are trying, as well as we can, to instruct those who embrace the message, in the right ways of living."

The following is quoted from a letter from H. H. Dexter, of 22 rue Pasteur, Nîmes, France: "I am glad indeed that the medical work is so well organized and is a department of the General Conference. We have no medical institution in France, but we are happy for our Latin Union sanitarium at Gland, Switzerland. Last year I spent a few days at the city of Nice,—135,000 inhabitants,—and here I formed the acquaintance of two of our sisters, who some years ago took the nurses’ course at the Battle Creek Sanitarium. They are now both married, but are still combining medical missionary nursing with their work. One of them, Mrs. Passebois Minasso, 30 rue de France, Nice, has quite an establishment for treating patients. Nice is a winter resort of Europe. Over one hundred thousand tourists spend their winter there. It is naturally a health resort, hence would be an excellent place for a sanitarium. If one of our bright American physicians could begin work here, I am certain that, with the blessing of the Lord, he would do well. At Valence there are also two young women who are doing private nursing, and a few miles out from the city, in the mountains, a brother, a graduate nurse from the Gland Sanitarium, has rented an old castle which he has converted into a small health resort."
