Counsels on Health - Ellen G. White

periods for rest from their taxing labor they will
lose their strength and vitality. They cannot
possibly do justice to the work, nor can they
represent what a sanitarium employee should be.
More helpers should be employed, if necessary,
and the work should be so arranged that when one
has performed a day’s labor he may be freed to
take the rest necessary to the maintenance of his
strength.
Let no man consider it his place to judge of the
amount of labor a woman should perform. A
competent woman should be employed as matron,
and if anyone does not perform her work faithfully,
the matron should deal with the matter. Just wages
should be paid, and every woman should be treated
kindly and courteously, without reproach.
And let those who have charge of the men’s
work be careful lest they be too exacting. The men
should have regular hours for service, and when
they have worked full time, they are not to be
begrudged their periods of rest. A sanitarium is to
be all that the name indicates.
