thought, until January 1st, allowing

output. This big excess stock had
been accumulated during the sum-
mer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In

days this stock has vanished. At
first we thought this tremendous
demand would last only few days,
but the orders have run:

WHAT WE ASK THE RETAIL

Buy in as small quantities as pos

orders, given the jobbers' statesmen
or given to, our statesmen, don't
bother about them-no need to
write us-it is absolutely impossible
to fill these orders at this time.
If the jobbers in your territory are
out of Vick's VapoRub, we will ship
you by Parcel Post, prepaid, guam
titles not more than three (3) dozen
soc size in any one order. Natur-
ally, we don't open accounts at this
time, so your check or money order
for this amount must accompany
order. Don't write us stating to
ship through your jobber, as we
then have to wait until we write
this jobber and get his o. K. If
you wish the goods to come through
your jobber, have him order them
for you.

THE PROBLEM NOW is TO
DISTRIBUTE VAPORUB
QUICKLY.

Most of this tremendous guam
tity is still en- route to the jobbers,
but freight and express are both
congested nowadays, and it may be
some time before this supply
reaches the jobbers. In the mean
time, therefore, it is necessary that
we distribute, as widely as possible,
the stock that we are manufactur-
ing daily, together with that now
on the jobbers' and retailers
shelves, in order that it may get to
the Influenza districts quickly.
Our normal output is about 1000
dozen per day. We are putting on
night shift, but it will be a little
while before that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLE
SALE DRUGGIST TO DO.
Last Saturday we notified all of
our jobbers, by Special Delivery, as
follows:
1st-Deals and quantity shipments
of all kinds are cancelled. Fill
no quantity orders of any
kind, whether taken by our
statesmen or by your own. Sell

NEW WAYS TO USE yAPoRuR.

In addition to the usual method
of using VapoRub-that is, applied
over the throat and chest and COW
cred with hot flannel cloths-our
customers are writing us daily tell
ing of their success in using Vapo-
Rub in other ways, particularly ~
a preventive. They melt a little
in spoon and inhale the vapors
arising, or melt in a benzoin steam
kettle. Where the steam kettle is
not available, VapoRub can be used
in an ordinary tea-kettie. Fill the
tea-kettle half full of boiling water,
put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale the
steam arising.
