A tranquil mind and even temper are particularly desirable in a nurse, and care should be taken to inquire into this point. The pernicious influence of passion in the nurse on the system of the child is strikingly illustrated by a case mentioned in the excellent little work of Dr Yon Ammon, already referred to. "A carpenter fell into a quarrel with a soldier billeted in his house, and was set upon by him with his drawn sword. The wife of the carpenter at first trembled with fear and terror, and then suddenly threw herself furiously between the combatants, wrested the sword from the soldier's hand, broke it in pieces, and threw it away.
