SPANISH INFLUHNzA---WHAT IT IS
AND HOW IT SHOULD Be TREATED.
Nothing New Simply the Old Grip La Grippe That
Was Epidemic in 1SS9-90 Only Then Il Came
From Russia by Way Of France and
This Time by Way of Spain
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining Oh
the afr passages to throw or the grippe
germs, to ajdsin Ioosening the phlegnI
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick'G
VapoRub will be found effective. Hot
wet towels should be applied 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 thickly and cover with twQf
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, asb
the heat Of the body liberates the in-l
gradients in the form of vaporsG
These vapors, inhaled with each breath
corry the medication directly to the
parts affected. At the same time
VapoRub is absorbed through and
stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids
in relieving the congestion within.
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE
Evidence seems to prove that this ial
germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds--commoIA
drinking cups roller towels, etc. Keen
up your bodily strength by plenty OF
exercise in the open air, and good foo6k
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri4
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's Vapokub at the very flrsH
sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt q
little VapoRub in a spoon and inhalo
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo%
Rub In a benzoin steam kettle. If this
Is not available, use an ordinary tea%
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa$
ter, put in half teaspoon of VapoRub
from time to time-keep the kettle
just slowly boiling and inhale tho
steam arising.
Note-vick's vapoRub is the dis
covery of a North Carolina druggist
who found how to combine, in salve
form, MenthOl and Camptor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Cu~
bebs, ETC., 80 that when tn salve Is ap%
piled to the body heat, these ingredi~
ents are liberated in the form Of va
pors. !
VapoRub is comparatively new iTE
New York State and New England ana
q few Western states where 1t Is JUST
now being introduced, but In other Sec
tions of the country 1t is the standard
home remedy in more than a millions
homes for all forms of cold troubles
Over six million jars were sold lasE
year. VapoRub can be had in thre0
sizes at all druggists. It is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since 1t is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmfuk
effects.
