SPANISH INFLUENZA JUST GRIP
CAMOUFLAGED UNDER A new NAME
Most Authorities Now Agree That This Disease is Simply
the d-FashiOned Grip the Same That, Has Swept
Over the World Times Without Number. Since 1881
the United States Has Had Five Epidemics

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 the neck and the heat of the
body Iiberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, in
hailed with each breath. carry the
medication directly to the parts af-
J 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.
There is no occasion for panic-in-
fluenza or grip has very low per-
icentage 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
complications arising, attacking prin-
cipaIIy patients in a run down condi-
Ition-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
a 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.
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 cold. For head cold,
melt a little VapoRub in a spoon and
inhaIe the vapors, or better still. use
VapoRub in benzoin steam kettle. If
this is not available, use an ordinary
teakettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter, put in half a teaspoon of Vapo-
Rub from time to time-keep the
kettle just slowly boiling and inhale
the steam arising. 1H
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 ingredients are liberated in the
form of vapors. VapoRub can be had
in three sizes at all druggists. While
new in certain parts Of
the North, it is the standard home
in the South and West for all
forms of cold troubles-over six mil
lion jars were sold last year. VapoRub
is particularly recommended for chill
dren's Group sor colds, as it is ex-
ternally applied and can, therefore, be
used freely and often without the
slightest harmful effects.
