EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS

In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the grippe
germs, to aid in loosening the phlegm
and keeping the air passages open, thus
making the breathing easier, Vick's
VapoRub will be found effective. 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 until the skin is red,
spread on thickly and cover with two
thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Leave
the clothing loose around the neck, as
the heat of the body liberates the in
gradients in the form of vapors.
These vapors, inhaled with each breath,
carry the medication directly to the
parts affected. 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.
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.
Above all, avoid colds, as colds irri-
tate the lining of the air passages and
render them much better breeding
places for the germs.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign Of a cold. For head cold, melt
little VapoRub in a spoon and inhale
the vapors, or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. If this
is not available, use an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling wa
ter, 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 salve
form, Menthol and Camphor with such
volatile oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme, Gu
bebs, ETC., so that when the salve is ap-
piled to the body heat, these ingredi.
ents are liberated in the form Of va.
pors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York State and New England and
a few Western states where it is just
now being introduced, but in other sec.
tons of the country it Is the standard
home remedy in more than million
homes for all forms of cold troubles.
Over six million Jars were sold last
year. VapoRub can be had in three
sizes at all druggists. 1t is particular
ly recommended for children's Group
and colds, since it is externally applied
and therefore can be used as freely as
desired without the slightest harmful
effects.

Usino "Cut-Over" Lands.

Agricultural possibilities of "cut
over" lands in Louisiana have been
once more demonstrated by Ed Strain,
a farmer living a mile and half north
Of st. Benedict, producing a bale of
cotton an acre on cut-over land brok-
en- and prepared in the fall and planted
in cotton in the spring of the next
year. The fact that Mr.. Strain is a
blacksmith by trade and has taken to
farming only recently renders the agri-
cultural feat the more remarkable.

Is Acid Stomach
That Makes Millions
Sick and Suffer

Life is dark-not worth much to the
man or woman with an acid-stomach.
Acid-stomach kills Hope, Ambition.
Energy, Courage. 1t saps the strength of
the strongest body-impoverishes the
blood-causes untold suffering-makes
millions weak, unfit and brings on pre-
mature old age.
You know what acid-mouth does to
teeth and gums-how the acid literally
eats through the hard enamel, causing
the teeth to decay. Just imagine, then,
what havoc an acid stomach must do to
the delicate organization of the stomach.
Millions of people are weak and unfit.

They're nervous and irritable; lack power

subject to fits of melancholia and mental
depression. And nearly always their
stOmachS are out of order, even though
many experience no actual stomach pains
digestion poor-never getting anywhere
near the full strength from their food.
So, you see, it's just this-acid-stom-
ach-thlt is holding so many people back
-sapping up the strength they should
get from their fOed-taking away their
vigor and ritality-leaving them weak
and inefficient.

Get rid of the excess acid. That's
the secret of good health and is the only
way to obtain good digestion and assim-

is to spur up your appetite. When the
stimulating effects wear of, you are
worse off than ever.
modern remedy makes it possible
to remove excess acid without the slight

in the form of pleasant tasting tablets
Their action in the stomach is a good
deal like piece of blotting paper taking

day-and get on the road to bounding,
vigorous, vibrant health. Thousands upon
thousands of people who have used
EATONIC are enthusiastic in its praise.
They say they never dreamed that any
thing could bring them such quick relief.

it does not help you your money will be
