NOW IT'S "KNITTING NERVES"
New York Physical Director Says It's Due to Improper Handling of Needles.
New York.—Now It's "knitting nerves" caused by concentration of mind and hand on the needles. Thousands of women in New York are afflicted, according to Dr. Louis R. Welzmiller, physical director of the West Side Y. M. C. A., who adds that his only patients that show symptoms of the new war-time complaint have been women. Dr. Welzmiller says that there is liable to be an epidemic of "knitting nerves" unless knitters learn to knit properly.
Dr. C. P. Christenson, president of the Psychological Research society, said: "The women are overworking themselves. Knitting has become a craze. Nerves cannot stand this strain."

It Soothes and Relieves Like a Mustard Plaster Without the Bum or Sting
Musterole is a clean, white ointment, made with the oil of mustard. It does all the work of the old-fashioned mustard plaster—does it better and does not blister.  Better. You do not have to bother with a cloth. You simply rub it on—and usually the pain is gone! Many doctors and nurses use Musterole and recommend it to their patients.
