All classes vie with one another in their attentions.

The rich send their luxuries; the paupers, however, not having anything to give, go themselves and wait on them and nurse them.

For this there is no help, and the rich grumble, but can do nothing.

The sick are thus sought out incessantly, and most carefully tended.

When they die there is great rejoicing, since death is a blessing; but the nurses labor hard to preserve them in life, so as to prolong the enjoyment of the high privilege of nursing.
