NOTE AS TO THE NUMBER OF WOMEN EMPLOYED AS NURSES IN GREAT BRITAIN.
25,466 were returned, at the census of 1851, as nurses by profession,
39,139 nurses in domestic service,[40] and 2,822 midwives. The numbers
of different ages are shown in table A, and in table B their
distribution over Great Britain.
To increase the efficiency of this class, and to make as many of them as
possible the disciples of the true doctrines of health, would be a great
national work.
For there the material exists, and will be used for nursing, whether the
real "conclusion of the matter" be to nurse or to poison the sick. A
man, who stands perhaps at the head of our medical profession, once said
to me, I send a nurse into a private family to nurse the sick, but I
know that it is only to do them harm.
