EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining OF
the air passages to throw Off the grippe
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
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 two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat of the body liberates the in
gradients 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, 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 is
germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneezing or splitting. So
avoid persons having colds-which
means avoiding crowds-common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty of
exercise in the open air, and good food.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign Of cold. For head cold, melt a
little VapoRub in spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in 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 the
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 Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu
bebs, ETC., so that when the salve is ap-
piled to the body heat, these ingredi-
ents are liberated in the form of va
pors.
vapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England and
few Western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other Sec
lions of the country it is the standard
home remedy in more than million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
Over six million jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. It is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

Get rid of the excess acid. That's
the secret of good health and is the only
way to obtain good digestion and assim-
ilation. 1t is the right way to be well and
keep strong. Ordinary tonics won't do
any lasting good. The best they can do
is to spur up your appetite. When the
stimulating effects wear off, you are
worse off than ever.
modern remedy makes it possible
to remove excess acid without the slight
est discomfort. 1t is called EATONIC,
in the form Of pleasant tasting tablets.
Their action in the stomach Is a good
deal like piece Of blotting paper taking
up drop of ink-they literally absorb
the injurious excess acid and carry it
away through the intestines.
Begin using EATONIC right now-to-
day-and get on the road to bounding,
vigorous, vibrant health Thousands upon
thousands of people who have used
EATONIC are enthusiastic in its praise.
They say they never dreamed that any
thing could bring them such quick relief.
EATONIC is absolutely guaranteed so
get big SOC box from your druggist. If
1t does not help you your money will be
refunded. If your druggist does not keep
EATONIC, send your name and address to
the Eatonic Remedy Company, 1918 S.
Wabash Ave-, Chicago. ILL.,, and they will
at once mail you a soc box and you can
send them the money for 1t after you re-
ceive 1t.

It's Acid Stomach
That Makes Ai|Ii0ns
Sick and Suffer

Life Is dark-not worth much to the
man or woman with an acid-stomach.
Acid-stomach kills Hope, Ambition.
Energy, Courage. 1t saps the strength of
the strongest body-impoverishes the
blood-causes untold uffering-makes
millions weak, unfit and brings on pre-
mature old age.
You know what acid-mouth does to
teeth and gums-how the acid literally
eats through the hard enamel, causing
the teeth to decay. Just imagine, then,
what havoc an acid stomach must do to
the delicate organization of the stomach.
Millions of people are weak and unfit,
suffering all the time, in one way or an
other, from superacidity or acid-stomach.
They don't seem dangerously sick.
Just ailing. Going through life weak,
listless, dragging one foot after another.
They're nervous and irritable; lack power
and punch, frequently have severe at
tacks of binding, splitting headaches;
subject to fits of melancholia and mental
depression. And nearly always their
stomachs are out of order, even though
many experience no actual stomach pains
digestion poor-never getting anywhere
near the full strength from their food.
So, you see, it's just this--acid-stom
ach-that is holding SO many people back
-sapping up the strength they should
get from their food-taking away their
vigor and vitality-leaying them weak
and inefficient.

ALWAYS CALL A DOCTOR
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC
Spanish influenza, which appeared In
Spain In May, has all the appearances
Of grip, or la grippe, which has swept
over the world in numerous epidemics
as far back as history runs. Hippoc-
rates refers to an epidemic In 412
B. G., which is regarded by many to
have been influenza. Every century
has had its attacks: Beginning with
1881 this country has had five epidem-
les, the last in 1889-90.
There is no occasion for panic-inf1u-
enza itself has very low percentage
of fatalities-not over one death out
of every 400 cases, according to the
N. G. board of health. The chief danger
lies in complications arising, attack
ing principally patients in rundown
condition those who don't go to bed
soon enough or those who get up too
early.
THE SYMPTOMS
Grip, or influenza, as it is now called,
usually begins with chill, followed by
aching, feverishness, and sometimes
nausea and dizziness, and general
feeling Of weakness and depression.
The temperature is from 100 to 104,
and the fever usually lasts from three
to five days. The germs attack the
mucous membrane or lining of the air
passages, nose, throat and bronchial
tubes; there is usually hard cough,
especially bad at night; oftentimes
sore throat or tonsillitis, and frequently
all the appearances Of severe head
cold.
THE TREATMENT
Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
spreading the disease to others-take
purgative, eat plenty Of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powders, ETC., may be administered by
the physicians directions to relieve the
aching. But there is no cure or spe-
cific for influenza-the disease must
run its course. Nature herself. will
throw off the attack if only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that there is danger of pneu-
monia or bronchitis developing, and
sometimes Inflammation of the middle
cdr, or heart affections. For these rea-
sons it is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his strength
returns stay in bed at least two days
on more after the fever has left you, or
iflyou are over so or not strong stay
in{ bed four days or more, according to
they severity of the attack.
