Sister Sacred Heart, M.S.R.T., (Brooklyn, N.V.) is in charge of a clinic for this extensive parish. As a registered nurse she gi\es injections and medicines that the peoplccould obtain 'only with great difficulty because of the distance from doctors. liach month she treats two hundred patients at the clinic and makes home visits too. Malnutrition, rheumatism, and bronchitis are common ailments. Severe dampness in some seasons causes much of the sickness.
lividence of the results of missionaries’ work is the size and spirit of the congregation at Infant of Prague Church, one of the parish’s missions.
