HOW TO USE vAPoRUB IN TREAT.
ING SPANISH INFLUENZA.
In every case call physician-Vapo-
Rub should be used only in connection
with the physicians internal treatment
Apply hot, wet cloths bver the throat,
chest and back between the shoulder
blades to open the pores. Dry lightly
and rub vapoRIb' web In until the skin
is .red-spread< on thekly and cover
with hot flannel cloths. Leave the bed
covering loose around the mock, as the
body heat releases the ingredients in
the form Of vapors. These vapors. in
hailed with each breath, stimulate the
lining of the air passages TO throw of
the influenza germs. In case OF head or
chest cold, which often accompanies. in
huenza, the yapors tend to keep the air
passages open, loosen the phlegm and
make the breathing easier. In addition,
VapoRub is absorbed thru and stimu-
lates the skin, attracting the blood to
the surface, and thus lids in relieving
the congestion within.
HOW TO USE vlcK's ,vAPoRUB

It is questionable il there is anything
which will prevent Spanish Influenza,
except avoiding those persons who are
spreading the disease by coughing.

up the bodily resistance by plenty of
good food and exercise II the open air.
The Public Health Service recommends
that the nasal passa ses be coated with
a weak solution OF Menthol in liquid
petroleum as protective. For this
purpose VapoRub is;excellent. Just put
a small portion up each nostril from
time to time during the day and snuff
well back into the head.

afsailor in the American navy 5000
miles and more from home, in land
where the Yankee soda fountain
doesn't grow except in a few so-called
American" stores in London, shore
leave at certain Irish port was a
melancholy affair. ... s4sss s ,E.s
Some such vision as this must have
come to Mrs Henry r. Rae, an Amer
lean woman, when she gave $1,000
to the navy to be spent in adding to
the comfort of the sailors at the port
inEquestion. After much official cor
dependence between the American
aawal Headquarters at London. tho
navy department, the American com
mander at the Irish port and Mrs
Rae, it was finally decided to .pur.
chase a soda fountain for the shore
rest station,
The result Is that the camp now
possesses one marble-topped, 6-foot
fountain with gas-making machine
and the remains of So. gallons of
strawberry syrup, 80 of raspberry, 81
of pineapple, Ia Of cocoa paste and
5000 pounds of granulated sugar.
