Some of the text in this Vintage Ad:
Sickness at your house?
Today, medical and nursing authorities are recommending
home care for more and more patients . . .
especially if someone in the family is skilled in home nursing.
There are several reasons why home nursing is of such
great importance now. Nearly all of our country's hospitals
are crowded. In fact, they care for more than 20
million patients a year. Naturally, doctors, nurses and
their assistants are busier than ever before. So, whenever
a patient can be adequately cared for at home, hospital
beds and personnel are freed for more serious cases.
Moreover, the cost of a long hospital stay is a heavy
financial burden to the average family . . . as well as a
source of worry to the ill person. Lengthy hospitalization
may also make the sick person depressed and even doubtful
of his recovery. These attitudes can often be offset when
the patient can safely and conveniently be cared for within
the family circle. [n fact, familiar home surroundings and
family companionship can often help to hasten recovery.
Fortunately, in such circumstances, home nursing can
usually be performed adequately by a family member
under the direction of the doctor. To give the best possible
help to an ill person, however, the home nurse must know
how to follow the doctor’s specific instructions, and be
able to care for both the physical and emotional needs of
the patient. In addition, the home nurse should be prepared
to make some simple but essential observations
which help the doctor determine the patient's progress.
Suppose you had to give home nursing care to someone
in your family. Would you know how to do any of the
following:
1. Could you carry out a doctor’s orders to observe
and record a patient's breathing, or to take his pulse?
2. Help a sick person overcome fears and anxieties?
3. Persuade a child to take medicine?
4. Help a bed patient maintain comfortable posture?
Since illness may occur unexpectedly at any time in any
family, someone in every household should be a qualified
home nurse.
You can learn more about home nursing skills in free
courses given in most communities by the American Red
Cross. If you cannot enroll in one of these courses, you
can learn many essentials of home nursing with the help
of Metropolitan's 32-page, illustrated booklet called
Sickness At Your House'? Just fill out the coupon below to

things-expertly and gently-that are conducive to a sick
person's comfort, contentment and recovery.
