Meet Rheumatic Attack With
Famous Remedy.

Be assured your Rheumatism
will master you unless you con-
quer it. This disease, begin
ming its attack slowly and with
little notice from it's victim,
gradually increases in violence
until the whole system is in
volved. The patient often be-
comes a wreck or a cripple. It
attacks in various forms,-Ar-
ticular, Muscular, and Inflam-
matory. No part of the system
is immune to it's influence. The
pains attack every portion. of
the body, and when the disease
gets a firm hold upon the sys-
tenn, the patient becomes help
less.
But the origin of this most
painful of all diseases is in the
blood, and no amount of exter-
nal treatment can overcome the
trouble. Rubbing with lini-
nents and ointments may suf-
flee temporarily in allaying the
pains, but the trouble is deep in
the muscles, joints and liga-
ments, and can be driven from
the system only through the use
of a medicine that will attack
the disease in all parts of the
body, and that is what S. S. S.
does.
S. S. S. being purely vegeta-
BILE, and containing not one par
ticle of mineral, is most well
come to the stomach of the
Rheumatic sufferer who has
long been dosed with ineffect-

CAMOUFLAGED UNDER A new NAME
Most Authorities Now Agree That This Disease Simply the
Old Fashioned Grip the Same That Has Swept Over the

Has Had Five Epidemics.

the pores. Then vapo Rub should be
rubbed in over the parts until the
skin is red, spread on thickly and
covered with two thicknesses of hot
flannel cloths. Leave the clothing
loose around thetneck as the heat OF
the body liberates the ingredients in
the form of vapors. These yapOrs,
inhaled with each breath, carry the
medication directly to the parts at
fected. At the same time, VapoKub
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.
There is no occasion for panic--in-
fluenza or grip has very. low per-
centage of fatalities-not over one
death out of every four hundred cases,
according to the n c. Board of
Health. The chief danger lies in COM
plications arising, attacking princi-
pally patients in rundown condition
those who don't go to bed soon
enough, or those who get up too
early.
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 plen-
ty Of exercise in the open air. and
good food.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold. For a head cold, melt
a little VapoRub in a spoon and in
hale the vapors, or better still, use
VapoRub in a benzoin steam kettle
If this is not available. use an ordin-
airy teakettle. Fill half full of boiling
water. put in half a teaspoon of Vapo-
Rub from time to time-keep the ket-
tie 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.
Cubebs, etc, so that when the salve
is applied to the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the form of
vapors. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. While COM
paratively new in certain parts of tho
North, it is the standard home remedy
in the South and West for all forms
of cold troubles-over six million
jars were sold last year. VapoRub is
particularly recommended for chill
dren's Group or colds. as it is exter-
nally applied and can, therefore, be
used freely and often without the
slightest harmful effects

The Last Epidemic in 1SS9-9O
Came from Russia by Way of
France and Was Given a
French Name, La Grippe.
This Time 1t Came BY Way
of Spain.
ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.

ORIGIN OF THE DISEASE.
Spanish Influenza, which appeared
in Spain in May, has swept over the
world in numerous epidemics as far
back as history runs. Hippocrates re-
fers to an epidemic in 412 B. c.. which
is regarded by many to have been in
fluenza. Every century has had its
attacks. Beginning with 1881, this
country has had five epidemics, the
last in 1889-9O.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grip, or influenza as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill
followed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dizziness, and
general feeling of weakness and de-
preston. The temperature is from
100 to 104, and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lin
ing of the air passages-nose, throat
and bronchiel tubes-there is usually
a hard cough, especially bad at night.
often times a sore throat or tonsil-
tits, and frequently all the appearances
of a severe head cold.
THE
Go to bed at the first symptoms
take purgative. eat plenty of nour-
ishing food, remain perfectly quiet
and don't worry. Nature herself is
the only "cure" for influenza and will
throw off the attack if only you con-
serve your strength. A little Quinine,
Asperin or Dover's Powder may be
given by the physicians directions to
allay the aching. Always call a doc
tor. since the chief danger of grip
is in it's weakening effect on the sys-
tenn, which allows complications to
develop. These are chiefly pneu
monia and bronchitis. sometimes in
flammation Of the middle ear, or heart
affections. For these reasons, it is
very important that the patient re-
main 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 so or not strong, stay
in bed four days or more, according
to the severity of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the grip
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open,
thus making the breathing easier,
Vick's VapoRub will be found effect

piled over the throat, chest and ba ok
