They Find 1t Better Than Internal Med

Troubles

In the South everyone uses Vick'S
Vap-O-Rub Salve for all forms of cold
troubles But when it was introduced
in ST. Joseph, Mo-, for the first time,
last winter, the local druggists natu-
rally were skeptical. They did not
believe that Group could be relieved
in fifteen minutes just by rubbing
with Vap-O-Rub, or that colds COM
monty went in one night So ar
rangements were made to present a
number of ladies with complimentary
jars of Vap-O-Rub on the condition
that they give it a thorough trial
Here are the reports from these ladies:
Mrs. c. L. Haden, 1909 s. 18th St,
says-Last winter I had a dreadful
bad cold on my lungs, with q tight
bad cough. / rubbed Vap-O-Rub ON
two nights, and the next morning my
cough was loose and lungs better I
relieved neuralgia with it in one night.

Rub. 1 used it four nights on her
throat with such good results that now

used it on myself and husband for bad

EXPERIMENTS
Teach Things of Value.

Where one has never made the ex-
pertinent of leaving off coffee and
drinking Postum, it is still easy to
learn something about it by reading
the experiences of others.
Drinking Postum is a pleasant way
out of coffee troubles. A Penn. man
says:
My wife was a victim of nervous
ness, weak stomach and loss of ap-
petite for years; and although we re-
sorted to numerous methods for re-
lief, one of which was a change from
coffee to tea, it was all to no purpose.
1--WE knew coffee was causing the
trouble but could not find anything to
take its place until we tried Postum.
Within two weeks after she quit coffee
and began using Postum almost all of
her troubles had disappeared as if by
magic. 1t was truly wonderful Her
nervousness was gone, stomach trou-
bic relieved. appetite improved and,
above all, a nights rest was complete
and refreshing.
This sounds like an exaggeration
as it all happened so quickly Each
day there was Improvement, for the
Postum was undoubtedly strengthen
ing her. Every particle of this good
work is due to drinking Postum in
