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 un- til the skin is 'red, spread on thfclzly and covered with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave the clothing locse around the neck as the heat of the body iberates the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors inhaled with each breath, carry the medication directly to the parts af- ! fected. 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.

NO OCCASION FOR PANIC

ONN-AoACAN TOlA IANEO
 Spanish influenza. which appeared in Spain in May, has all the appear ance of grip or la grippe, which has swept over the world in numerous epidemics as far back as history runs. Hippocrates refers to an epidemic in 4l2 B. C., which is regarded by many to have been influenza Every cen tury has had it's attacks. Begtnning with 1881, this country has had five epidemics, the last in 1Ss9-90.
 There is no occasion for panic influenza itself has a very low per- centage of fataiities-not oves one death out of every 400 cases, accord ing to the NC. Board of Health. The chief danger lies in complications arls- ing, attacking princpally patents In a run down cOndition-those who don't i go to bed soon enough, or those who get up too e&rly.
 THE SYMPTOMS
 Grippe, or influenza as it is now called, usually begins with chiI: fol- owed by aching, feverishness and sometimes nausea and dizziness, and a general feeling of weakness ami de- | precision. The temperature is from 100 to 1O4. and the fever usually lasts from three to five days The germs attack the mycuous membrane, oY Iln- l ing Of the air passag ages-nose, throat and bronchial tubes-there is-usualIy a hard cough, especially bad at night, often times a sore throat or tonslitis. and frequently all the appearances Of l a 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 nourisplng 1 fooR. remain perfectly quiet and cont worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover Powder. etc. may be administered by the physician's directions to relieve the aching. But there is no cure or specific for infuenza-the dis4ase must run its course, but Nature will throw off the attack if only you keep fup your strength. The chief danger lies in the complications which may arise. Influenza so weakens the Lod+ fly resistance that there is dangee of pneumonia or bronchitis developing. and sometimes inflammation of the middle ear, or heart affections. For these reasons, it is very imporrant that the patient remain in bed until his strength returns-stay in bed at least two days or more after the fever has left you. or if you are over ,i 50 or not strong, stay in bed four Adays or more according to the sever

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 dTinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keen up your bodily strength by plenty of exercise in the open air, and good food. Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of | the air passa ges and render them much better breeding places for the germs.
 Use Vick's VapeRub at the very ffrst sign of a cold. For head cold, melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and in. hale the Eapors, or better still. use VapoRub in a, benzoin steam kettle. If this is not available. use an ordin- ary tea-kettle. Fill half-fuIl of boil ing water, put in half a 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 saIve form Menthol and Camphor with such volatile oils as Eucalyptus Thyme. Gu. nebs, etc, so that when the salve is applied to the body heat, these IN. gredients are liberated in the form of lvapors.
 NapoRub is comparatively new Tn New York State and New England and a few Western States, where it is. just now being introduced. but in the other sections of the country it is the standard home remedy in over mil lion homes for all forms of cold trou- bies Over six million jars were sold last year It isl particularly recom- mended for children's croup or colds slnce it is externally applied and therefore can be used as freely as de- sired without the slightest harmfu, effects. VapoRub can be had in three sizes at a4a Asists.-Adv.
