The Red Cross set out to teach ordinary families how to nurse the sick at home, from spotting communicable disease to keeping a bedside clean. This classroom textbook covers bacteria, parasites, prevention and the daily work of care. A practical monument to the home-nursing movement of its era. Meet home health as America's most famous society taught it.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
