date SHIPMENTS d.
RECT BY PARCEL
POST.

This advertisement is written on
Monday, October 21st. II is directed to
the attention of all distributors of
Vicig's VapoRub, both wholesale and
retail. In an emergency such as the
present epidemic-our duty-and your
duty-is to distribute VapoRub in the
quickest possible manner to those sec
tons stricken by Influenza. We. there
fore, call your careful attention TO the
following:
DANGER OF SHORTAGE IF SUP
PLY is NOT CONSERVED
On October LIST we had on hani at
our Factory and IN twenty warehouses
scattered over the country, sufficient
VapoRub to last us. we thought, until
January LIST, allowing for so per cent
increase over last years sales, and not
counting our daily output This big
during the summer months.
Then this epidemic of Spanish In
fluenZa hit us-and In the last ten days
this stock has vanished. At first we
thought this tremendous demand
would last only a few days. but the
orders have run:
Wed, Oct. IS. -. 1854 doz.
Thur, Oct. II. De, 1923 doz.
Fri, Oct, IS. .39,256 doz.
Sat-, Oct. 10. 80. 1888 doz.
Mon, Oct. 81. n, 705 doz.
Up to Saturday, October 10th, we
have actually shipped for this month
$500, 2S41O. or over two million jars
of VapoRub.
THE PROBLEM NOW is TO DIS
TRIBUTE VAPoRUB QUICKLY.
Most of this tremendous quantity is
still en- route to the jobbers, but
freight and express are both con-
gested nowadays, and 1t may be some
time before this supply reaches the
jobbers. In the meantime, therefore,
it is necessary that we distribute, as
widely as possible, the stock that we
are manufacturing 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 little while be-
fore that is producing.
WHAT WE ASK THE WHOLESALE
DRUGGIST TO DO.
Last Saturday. we notified all of 0ul
jobbers, by Special Delivery, as fol
lows:
1st-Deals and quantity shipments
of all kinds are cancelled. Fill nc
quantity orders of any kind, whether
taken by our salesman or by your own

When the lines of streteher cases

the surgeons stood in the reception
ward making quick examinations. One
stretcher was brought silently in, the
form of soldier lying rigid under
blankets drawn over the head. This

the last wounded man had been looked
over the surgeons reverently lifted the
