To prevent the attack of bronchitis

Anuric tablets should be obtained at

Pierce, and, as they flush the bladder
and cleanse the kidneys, they carry
away much of the poisons and the
uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk,
buttermilk, ice cream and simple diet
be given regularly to strengthen the
system and increase the vital resist

AN ENDORSEMENT
United War Work Campaign
November II to 1S,

Wayne county's Quota, 100000
Dear Sir:
Too much can not be said Of the
necessity of putting this United
War Work campaign over the top
in the same manner as our grand
old Wayne county has done in the
Liberty Loan and other national
campaigns, and there is not the
least doubt but that every soul in
the county will work with his or
her whole heart toward its ulti-
mate success.

THREE MILLION JARS
SHIPPED DURING
OCTOBER

On Monday, October 81, we adj
dressed an advertisement to the
wholesale and retail drug trade, ad-
vising that we were badly oversold,
due to the Influenza epidemic, stating
that all deals and quantity shipments
were postponed, and requesting that
VapoRub be purchased in small lots
only. This condition still prevails.
AT this writing we have back or
ders for eighteen thousand (18,000)
gross and our orders each day are dou-
BILE our daily output. The epidemic,
however, is decreasing in most sec
tiOns, the demand is slackening and
we are working night and day 20
catch up. In the meantime, we ask
the trade to be patient with u.s.
ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS HAVE
WIPED OUT EXCESS STOCKS
On October LIST we had on hand at
the factory and in twenty warehouses
over the country a tremendous stock
of VapoRub, accumulated during the
summer months. This is now gone
we actually shipped during the month
of October over three million jars of
VapoRub. We are speeding up our
factory as much as possible and the
problem now is to distribute the fac-.
tory's output as quickly as possible.
We have, therefore, for the time be-
ing, abandoned freight shipments and
are shipping either by Parcel Post or
express-trying to give each jobber at
least little stock
IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS TO DRUG
GISTS IN INFLUENZA DIS
TRICTS
Preference is being given to those
sections stricken by influenza. In or
der to reach these sections as quickly
as can be, we are. during this emerg-
ency, making shipments by Parcel
Post, direct, to the retail trade, of not
more than three 60 dozen soc size
In any one shipment. We prefer that
the jobbers order these shipments for
their trade, but to save time we will, if
the need is urgent, ship direct on re-
ceipt of check or money order Nat
urally, no new accounts can be opened
during this rush

HOW TO USE VAPoRUB IN TREAT
ING SPANISH INFLUENZA
In every case call a physician
VapoRub should be used only in con-
nectlon with the physicians internal
treatment. Apply hot, wet cloths over
the throat, chest and back between
the shoulder blades to open the pores.
Dry lightly and rub VapoRub we'll in
until the skin is red-spread on thick
ly ana cover with hot flannel cloths.
Leave the bed-covering loose around
the neck. as the body heat releases
the ingredients in the form of vapors.
These vapors. inhaled with each
breath, stimulate the lining of the air
passages to throw off the influenza
germs. In case OF head or chest cold.
which often accompanies influenza.
the vapors tend to keep the air pass
ages open, loosen the phlegm and
make the breathing easier In addi-
ton, VapoRub is absorbed through
and stimulates the skin, attracting the
blood to the surface, and thus aids tn
relieving the congestion within
HOW TO USE vlck'S vAPORUB AS
A PREVENTATIVE
It is questionable If there is any
thing which will prevent Spanish in
fluenza. except avoiding those persons
who are spreading the disease bv
coughing, sneezing and splitting, and
by keeping up the bodily resistance
by plenty of good food and exercise
in the open air. The Public Health
Service recommends that the nasal
passages be coated with a weak solu-
ton of Menthoi in liquid petroleum as
a protective. For this purpose Vapo.
Rub is excellent. Just put small por-
ton up each nostril from time to
time during the day and snuff well
back into the head
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY IN.
HALING VAPoRUB
Colds irritate the lining Of the air
passages and thus render them a
much better breeding place for the
germs. At the first signs of cold
use VapoRub at once. Melt a little in
a spoon and inhale the vapors arising,
or VapoRub can be used in regular
benzoin steam kettle, such as most |
druggists carry in stock. If this is |
not available, a very good substitute
to use is an ordinary tea-kettle. Fill |
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 |

II had been weary Journey and.
although II was more than half over.
Chester Flood wondered II he could
stand II much longer. He had not
slept for forty-eight hours and II was
beginning TO tell ON him. Would the
Journey never end? He wondered
whether he really wanted II 10 end
He asked himself: Could he face his
friends utter his failure? The more he
thought of II the worse II appeared.
and he almost worked himself into a
frenzy us he thought OF the ordeal he
had before him. They would not I'M
derstand that he had tried his best
and that the odds were So great
against him. II they had not given
him such u rouslng senduff 1t would
be easier 10 face them. Instead Of
cheers there would be snecrs. The
world had No use for failures.
But would they not have n little
sympathy for him? Didn't friendship
count for something after allT Surely
they would see II wasn't his fault. He
had tried 50 hard and had been So con.
iident all along. They had encouraged
him and We're nS sure as he was that
he would make good. Would they
think he had ilunkcd? oh. If some of
them had only gone with him to see
what little chance he had Perhaps
they would realize how things had
been. after all That thought helped
him To regain his ease and he sat hnck
In his chair. trying to forget his tr"u-

him. His mind Travelled back over the
