Last yr after reading the hoppe book on it
I could regularly get 15 plus
Even a 28 one day
But very soon i lost it and struggle for 5 -10
 
I have heard that is was actually some guys from Quebec or Montreal that invented the rail nurse and not USA. Apparently Carom billiards was played in Quebec once upon a time but it is all pool now.

Daly's Billiard book (pages 10 - 12 credits the running nurse developing from a stationary nurse - 2 forms of the stationary nurse used by A. P. Rudolphe, and Joseph Dion and eventually from that came the idea of a "running nurse" developed by Jacob Shaeffer and William Sexton. I don't know if any one these guys was from Canada .

Cyrille Dion 1843- 1878 was from Canada and held world titles in American 4 Ball and
Pool.
 
I think the best book in English for the small games is still Daly's Billiard Book. Here is an Ebay link apparently to all copies of the Dover reprint. Right now you can get a copy delivered to your house for under $5 total including shipping.
