quare hospital arrrangemenbs having been
made. When the great mistake was
realized it was a woman who came forward
to rectify the terrible blunder ; and it may
easily be imagined that obstaelee were
thrown in her way by those whose careless:.
nees
areless-
nees and heartlessness it was her mission to
involuntarily expose. But, even in those
days, when news travelled slowly and when
newspapers merely recorded bare facts of
newel with but little comment,publio
opinion was soon aroused, and when Miss
Florence Nightingale arrived at the Crimea
with her band of nurses she had the
whole British people at her back.
Few are aware that there is
A PRETTY ROMANCE
attached to Miss Nightingale's journey to
the Crimea. 1t was generally known
among her friends at the time that she had
bestowed her affections on s. young officer
in one of the first regiments to proceed to
the Beat of war. Although it was equally
well known among the same friends bbab in
any case Mies Nightingale would not have
hesitated for a moment to accept the
responsibilities and hardships of the posi-
tion offered to her, there is no doubt that
the labor of love was not only one of love
of humanity and of doing good, but was
also to some extent inspired by a desire to
ee near one whom she loved as a man more
than as one of mankind.
More than one generation of English girls
have revelled in the story of Miss Nighbin-
gale's work at Scutari ; have heard how the
sink and wounded would pray for her as she
walked through the line of Dots each night,
lamp in hand, and how,within the apace of
a fortnight, 4,000 patients, wounded or
sick, were placed under her charge. One
of the private soldiers whom she nursed
said of her :-"She would speak to one and
another, and nod and smile to many more;
but she could not do it to all,you know,for
we lay there by hundreds ; but we could
kiss her shadow as it fell on the wall at
night, and lay our heads on our pillows
again, content." They have heard, too,
and cannot hear often enough, the story of
the dinner given to the officers of the Brit.
ish army and navy on their return from
the east, and how, when Lord Stratford
suggested that every guest should write on
a piece of paper the name of the person
whose deeds in the Crimean war would
engrave themselves most indelibly in the
history of the British people, when the
papers were examined everyone had written
She name of
FLORENCE NIGIITINGALE,
Never hes a victorious army received
such a welcohtie on its return home as did
the Nurse•in-Chief of the Brfttah forces 1n
the Crimea, andwf all who welcomed her,
by word or spirit, there was none whose
welcome was mors sincere than that of her
Queen. The beautiful jewelled ornamenb
which her Majesty presented to Florence
Nightingale as a decoration was a symbol
of the gratitude shown by a Queen to a
subject. The decoration is oval in form,
the ground of pure white enamel, onwhioli
in diamonds are the letters " V.R." and
the Royal crown. The latter is enclosed
by an oval band of blank enamel -black
being an emblem of good counsel -on whioh
is inscribed in gold„” Blessed are the mer-
ciful." On each side rise branches of palm
in green and gold enamel, denoting the
peaceful oeoupatioi and triumphant result.
The oolor green also implies eternal friend-
ship. The label bearing the word "Crimea"
is in azure blue,and the whole is surmount-
ed by three brillianb diamond abase, the
celestial signification of which is obvious.
But perhaps the good tants and beauty of
this jewel are eclipsed by the noble expres-
sion of the feeling of her Majesty iu the
inscription borne on rho reverse :-"Ta
Florence Nightingale, as a mark of esteem
and gratitude for her devotion towards the
Queen's brave soldiers. From Victoria R.,
1866."
From the severe strain which she under-
went in the Crimea she has never recovered,
but, in spite of having been physically ah
invalid since her return, alio has done as
much with her mind and her pen for the
nurses and hoepibala of her country as elle
did with her hands for the soldiers site
loved in the Scutari huts. And it is inter.
eating to note that her work has been as
much iu the directtou of the prevention of
disease es in that of nursing the sick. This
was exemplified in a letter whioh she re.
emitter addressed to village mothers. Sho
advised them to see that their boys and
girls grew up "healthy, with clean minds
and clean shins." "Af ter all," she wrote,
"Itis health, and not themes, which is
one natural state. There ate more people
to pick us up when we fall titan to enable
it to stand on our feet," And bbe hteroduo'
tion to that letter was ea follows :-" .Dear

the nerves are not good conductors of
electricity, and that the velocity of a
nervous impulse is but 100 feet per
second—which is very much slower
than that of electricity. It is now
generally agreed that nervous energy,
or what we are pleased to call nerve
fluid, is a wondrous, a mysterious
force, in whioh dwells life itself.
A very eminent specialist, who
has studied profoundly the workings
of the nervous system for the last
twenty-five years, has lately demon-
strated that twb-thirds of all our
ailments and chronic) diseases are
due to deranged nerve centres within
or ab the base of the brain,
All know that an injury to the
spinal cord will cause paralysis to the
body below the injured point. The
reason for this is, that the nerve
totes is prevented by the injury from
reaching the paralysed portion.
Again, when food is taken into the
stomach, it comes in sestina WS%
numberless nerve fibres in the walls
of this organ, which at once send a
nervous ithpulse to the nerve centres
whioh control the stomach, notifying.
them of the presence of food; where-
upon the nerve centres send down a
supply of nerve force or nerve, fluid,
to at once begin the operation of
digestion. But let the nerve centres
whioh control the stomach be de-
ranged and they will not be able to
respond with a sufffoient supply of
nerve force, to properly digest the
food, and, as a result, indigestion and
dyspepsia make their appearance.
So it is with the other organs of the
body, if the nerve centres which con-
trol them and supply them with
nerve force booms deranged, they
are also deranged.
The wonderful success of the
remedy known as the Great South
American Nervine Tonic is due to
the fact that it is prepared by one of,
the most eminent physicians and
specialists of the age, and is based
