The way TO USE VAPORUB
FOR SPANISH INFLUENZA
The Influenza Germs Attack the Lining of the Air Pass
ages When vapoRub Is Applied Over Throat and
Chest, the Medicated Vapors Inhaled Loosen the
Phlegm, Open the Air Passages and Stimulate the
Mucous Membrane To Throw Off the Germs

through coughing, sneezing or spit
ting. So avoid persons having colds
which means avoiding crowds-com-
mon drinking cups. roller towels. etc
Keep up your bodily strength by
plenty Of exercise IN the open air. and
good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS.
Above all. avoid colds. as colds irri-
tate the lining Of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign OF cold. For a head cold,
melt a little yapoRub in a spoon and
inhale the vapors, or better still. Use
VapoRub in a benzoin steam Kettle.
If this is not available, use an ordi-
nary teakettle. Fill half-full Of boil
ing water, put in half teaspoon Of
VapoRub from time to time-keep the
kettle just slowly boiling and inhale
the steam arising.
NOTE-vicks VapoRub is the dis
covery OF a North Carolina druggist,
who found how to combine, in salve
form, Menthol and CaInphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs, etc, so that when the salve is
applied to the body heat, these ingre-
dents are liberated in the form of
vapors. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes-3Oc, soc, S1-2O-at all druggists.
While comparatively new IN certain
parts Of the North. It is the standard
home remedy in the South and West
for all forms Of cold troubles-over
six million jars were sold last year.
VapoRub is particularly recommended
for children's Group or colds, as It is
externally applied and can, therefore.
be used freely and often-without the
slightest harmful effects.-AdY.

Most authorities now agree that
what we call Spanish Influenza is
simply the old-fashioned grip, which
was epidemic here in 1ss9-9o. The in
nuenza germs enter through the nose
and mouth and attack the lining Of
the air passages-nose, throat and
bronchial tubes.
There Is no cure or specific for this
disease. but Nature viii throw off the
attack. II only you conserve your
strength. A competent physician
should always be called. The use Of
vapoRub does not interfere with any
internal treatment and It is now being
used by broadmlnded physicians every
where. in order to stimulate the lining
Of the air passages TO throw off the
grin germs, to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing
easier. Hot, wet towels should be ap-
piled over the throat. chest and back
between the shoulder blades to open
the pores. Then VapoRub should be
rubbed in over the parts until the skin
is red, spread on thiclkly and covered
with two thicknesses Of hot flannel
cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck, as the heat Of the
body nberates the ingredients IN the
form OF vapors. These vapors, inhaled
with each breath, carry the medication
directly to the parts affected. At the
same time, VapoRub is absorbed
through and stimulates the skin, at
tracing the blood 10 the surface. and
thus aids in relieving the congestion
within
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that Span
tsh Influenza is a germ disease. spread
