Revision of Elementary Hygiene and Care of the Sick

Red Cross Home Nursing textbook from 1942 is a vintage medical reference guide prepared by the American Red Cross. Written by Lona L. Trott, assistant director of Health Education at Red Cross Nursing Service, this fifth edition covers essential home hygiene and care of the sick.

A direct revision of Jane Delano's 1913 Elementary Hygiene and Care of the Sick, this 431-page softcover was published by Blakiston Company of Philadelphia. The book remains in very good condition with tight binding, minor dog-ear flaps, and a slightly bent back corner. A collectible piece of nursing history and vintage medical literature ideal for historians, collectors, and vintage book enthusiasts.
