HOW TO USE VICK'S VAPORUB IN
TREATING SPANISH INFLUENZA
The Influenza Germs Attack the Lining Of the Air Passages.
When VapoRub Applied Over Throat and Chest the med
Gated Vapor Loosen the Pegm Open the Air Passages and
Stimulate the Mucous Membrane to Throw OF the Germs

these reasons, Il is very important
that the patient remain in bed until
his strength returns-stay in bed at
least two days or more after the fever
has left you, or II you are over % or
not strong. stay In bed four Gays
or more. according to the severity Of
the attacbA
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw of the grip
germs. to aid in lOosening the phleem
and keeping the air passages open,
thus making the breathing easier.
vick's yapoRub will be found effec-
tive. Hot. wet towels should be sp-
piled over the throat, chest and back
between the shoulder blades TO open
the pores. Then yapoRub 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 the neck as the heat
of the body liberates the ingredients
in the form Of vapors. These vapors'
inhaled with each breath, carry the
medication directly TO the parts az
fected At the same time, Napohuo
is absorbed thru and stimulates the
skin, attracting the blood TO the sur
face 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 thru cough
ing, 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 e1-
ercise in the open air, and good food.
Above all. keep free from colds, as
colds irritate the lining of the air
passages and render them much
better breeding places for the germs,
Use Vick's VapoRub at the =, -
first sign of a cold. For a head cold
melt a little in a spoon and inhsle
the vapors. or better still, use Vapo-
Rub in a benzoin steam kettle. FIJI
half full of boiling water, put in halt
a teaspoon Of VapoRub from time 70
time-keep the kettle just slowly boil
ing. and inhale the Steam arising.
NOTEt Vick's VapoRub is the dis
covery OF a North Carolina druggist.
who found how TO combine in salve
form MenthoI and Camphor with such
essential oils as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs. etc, so that when the salve
is applied 10 the body heat, these in
gradients are liberated in the form
of vapors.
VapoRub is comparatively new in
New York. New England and a few
Western States, where II is just now
being introduced In other sections
Of the country. however. II is the
standard home remedy in over a mill
lion homes for all forms OF cold
troubles-more than six million jars
were sold last year.
1t is particularly recommended for
children's Group or colds. since IL is
externally applied and. therefore. can
be used as freely as desired without
the slightest harmful e>cts. VapO-
Rub can be had in three sizes, SOC,
eoc, and $40 at all druggists.
