92 YEARS OLD—AND FIT AS A FIDDLE

Runs Up and Down Stairs TAKES KRUSCHEN EVERY MORNING. “I feel in duty bound” writes Mrs. A.J.W., “to express my gratitude for the marvellous results my father has obtained from Kruschen Salts. They should really be called ‘Miracles.’ He is ninety-two years old, and is as fit as a fiddle. He can nip about, and run up and down stairs. His friends marvel why it is he is always alert, and never feels slack. He always tells them the reason ‘my regular daily dose of Kruschen Salts in my first cup of tea every morning.’ We always recommend Kruschen Salts to all our friends. To my idea, no family should be without it.”—(Mrs.) A.J.W. Now you will naturally ask, “How can Kruschen Salts make a man or woman of 92 feel so much younger 1 ?” Miraculous as it sounds, it is easy to explain. Most people grow old long before their time because they neglect one vital need of health—the need for internal cleanliness. Eventually they start the healthy Kruschen habit. Then, probably .for the first time in their lives, they start getting rid every day of all waste matter from the system. Instead of being clogged the intestines are clean and clear. Instead of liver and kidneys being sluggish they are active and effi cient. New, healthy blood goes coursing through the veins—carrying health and strength and energy to every part of the body.

And almost immediately you feel your youth has returned; you fee' young, energetic and happy. In a word, you’re got that famous “Kruschen Feeling.” Kruschen Salts is obtainable at all Chemists and Stores at 2/6 per bottle

siderable expense as the present! conveniences are totally inadequate and unsuitable for present day requirements. This applies t>o Petrie, Seddon and Victoria Wards. The question of sanittary blocks and several other matters should have been t'aken into consideration when the new building programme was suggested, and in theopinion of the CjOnrrnittee, there is good reason to suggest tha't the board should reconsider the plans for the ex tension and improvements to hospital buildings before proceeding further. Telephones are required in Hannan Ward and Massage Department. Provision is already provided for these on the switchboard in the main office. The old water heater or jacket ** present in the kitchen of Seddon Ward should be removed as sam c . is unusable and obsolete. Nurses’ Home —The range in the kitchen is not large enough to meet requirements,, and Mlatron desires some improvement in thi s direction. Rewa Hospital—Leaks in “the roofs of several rooms need attention. There is also a leak in the roof of the front verandah. Sink room, staff dining room and nursery badly need papering. Fire places in some of the rooms need attention. Linoleum needed f ; or kitchen and repairs to part of flooring in front of range. In the laundry the destructor and water heater need repairs and partial replacements. The necessity of a heating point and radiator for the private room is again brought under your notice as thi s is badly needed. X-ray couch —Your committee has no comment <to make- except that- the Westinghouse table which is the choice of the medical officers appears t 0 be of an advanced design and is also the lowest in price. The reports were (adopted. The following recommendations of the Hospital Committee were adopted: Tliat the departmental reports be adopted; that, the resignation of Miss Park be accepted; that Miss Cust he given a trial for two months as.night attendant iat the Old People’s Home on the same conditions as Miss park; that as to Nurses and Midwives Registration Board, re training, the replies of the Medical Superintendent.
