Standing apart from the group on the afterdeck, he seemed to sense an unnatural, forced gaiaty, and undercurrent of excite ment among the others..
As he sauntered over to join them, Marston, the steward, stopped him and spoke in an undertone.

OF NEURITIS
Nurse Now Prescribes Kruschen Salts
A nurse-like a doctor-is always adding to her knowledge. Here is a nurse who now prescribes Kruschen Salls for neuritis. She prescribes it confidently, because it was the only remedy, which brought her relief when she herself was afflicted with the same complaint.
"I am a busy private nurse," she writes, "on my feet 12. hours a day, and hardly knew how to get about through neuritis. I tried several
things, but ali in vain, so I thought I would give Kruschen Salts a fair trial. After taking them for seven days, I found great relief, and by the end of one month was completely have had free from neuritis. I several patients under my care with the same complaint and have put them on to Kruschen too."-Nurse M.T.
The pains of neuritis are a symptom of a deeper trouble-the same trouble that causes rheumatism, gout and lumbago. They show that poisons have crept into the blood. Kruschen is a combination of six natural salts, which ensure Internal cleanliness and keep the bloodstream pure.
