Book excerpt: The following pages contain a brief account of the experiment successfully tried by the Select Vestry of Liverpool (the guardians of the poor)-the introduction of trained Nurses into the male wards of the Workhouse Infirmary. That experiment having resulted so successfully as to induce the Vestry to extend the system to the remainder of the infirmary, it may be interesting to those who are concerned in the management of workhouses elsewhere to learn something of its history and progress.
