Excerpt from On the Employment of Trained Nurses Among the Labouring Poor: Considered Chiefly in Relation to Sanitary Reform and the Arts of Life A 2tried to advocate may meet With the approval and support of those benevolent persons Who wisely strive to lead their poorer friends and neighbours to prudent habits, and that independence and self reliance Which ought to be the normal condition of the industrial classes. In the words of that eminent physician and good man, the late Dr. Alison, I ad dress myself, To those Who have been accustomed to look upon the poor, not as objects of disgust and aversion, but as brothers and sisters in affliction, Who are born to the same hopes as themselves, look up to the same F ather in heaven, and trust to the mediation of the same Redeemer; to those who remember that charity is the highest of Christian duties, that our Saviour himself chose to be a beggar that we for his sake might not despise the poor.
