HOW TO USE vICK's yAPoRUB AS
A PREVENTIVE.

1t is Questionable IL there is any
thing which will prevent Spanish
Influenza, except avoiding those
persons who are spreading the dis
ease by coughing, sneezing and
splitting. and by keeping up the bod
lIy resistance by plenty OF good
food and exercise in the open air.
The Public Health Service recon-
mends that the nasal passages be
coated with a weak solution of
Menthol in liquid petroleum as a
protective. For this purpose Vapo-
Rub is excellent. Just put a small
portion up each nostril from time to
time during the day and snuff well
back into the head.

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 a cold
use VapoRub at once. Melt a little

arising, or VapoRub can be used in

as most druggists carry in stock.
