The Victoria Nursing Home

To the Editor of the Norta-Caiwa Dany New:

Sm,—Since the opening of the Nursing Home I have hud exceptional opportunities for observing its internal 1 ent, and though in no way officially connected' wife it, Efeel bound to state tnt there does not appear to me yo be any foundation for the very mwicious statements which appeared in the letter published by your evening contemporary in its bsuz of the 30th ult, Every one E hive seen who has been patient in the Nursing Home speaks in the highest way of the attention they received from the nurses there. Perfection cannot be attained at the commencenient of any undertaking of this sort, and in order enable it to become as perfect as possible i desrabl:, and will no daube those responsible for the cement of the Nursing Hume, pro: vided it is mule by pers s camp: tent to do so, und docs not take the form of scurrilous untrue reports, yravely retlecting on the ladies composing the nursing, stoff. The Rules seem " title stringent to some, but they "re not like the Iaws of the Medes ans Persians, Excepgions have been and without doubt will continue to be made in exceptional cases. Those, how-exer, who do +ot desire rest and quiet during their sickness hnd better not go to the Nursing Hom" az all. Defects in the size of beds and the utility of mosquito curtains can easily be remedied, but improvement is necessary in the very excellent attendance—bestowed on all patients without discrimination by the matron and nuts Tam, ete., "Pray THe Game."
