'Concerning our national honour': Florence Nightingale and the welfare of aboriginal Australians.

Florence Nightingale was a prolific writer on many subjects from nursing to religion to hospital design and sanitary statistics. Her writing on the indigenous people of Australia is little known but should be of interest especially to those involved in the present desperate search for ways to improve the health of Australia's first settlers. Nightingale's evidence was second-hand, derived largely from missionaries, especially Bishop Salvado of the Benedictine foundation of New Norcia in Western Australia. This paper reviews the attitudes to Australian Aborigines which emerge from Nightingale's and others' writings and argues that their place in modern nursing is to stimulate a reappraisal of current attitudes to Aboriginal health.

Dentistry in Dohnavur, 1955-1992.

In October 1955 I arrived here in Dohnavur, India, as a young, reluctant dental missionary! My first hurdle was to learn the language--Tamil--said to be one of the most difficult languages in the world. For the first year I was given one hour 'off' language study to do dentistry. In that hour I began to see our large family, which then numbered about 900. In the second year, still in a room with only the dental chair and a foot engine for temporary use, I spent half the time in dentistry and continued to learn Tamil the rest of the time. The dental surgery was built, and the equipment that I had brought with me from UK had been installed, and on December 17, 1957, we had the dedication of the dental surgery and I had the joy of having my parents with me from the UK for that special day.
