FOR AN old FAMILIAR DISEASE
Simply the Same Old Grip That Has Swept Over the
World Time and Again. The Last Epidemic
in the United States Was in 1889-9O.

body liberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, an
hailed with each breath, carry the
medication directly to the parts af-
fected. At the same time, VapoRub
is absorbed through and stimulates
the skin, attractingrthe blood to the
surface, and thus aids in relieving
the congestion within. =
NO OCCASION FOR PANIC.
There is no occasion for panic
influenza or grip has a very low
percentage 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
principally patients in a run down
condition-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 germ disease, spread princi-
pally by human contact, chiefly
through coughing, sneezing or spit
ting. So avoid persons having colds
which means avoiding crowds
common drinking cups roller tow
els, 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
irritate the lining Of the air pas
sages and render them much better
breeding places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very
first sign Of a cold. For a head
cold, melt a little VapoRub in a
spoon and inhale the vapors, or bet
ter still, use VapoRub in a benzoin
steam kettle. If this is not avail
able, use an ordinary teakettle. Fill
half-full of boiling water, put in
half a teaspoon of VapoRub from
time to time-keep the kettle just
slowly boiling and inhale the steam
arising. /,

discovery of North Carolina drug.

salve form, Menthol and Camphor

it is the standard home remedy in
the South and West for all forms
of cold troubles--over six million
Jars were sold last year. VapoRub

assistants did not ask the American
people to be undernourished. 1t was

that there was enough food for all,
but it was made equally clear that
waste must be ended Thus the Am

Mr. Hoover gave his attention, with
the aid Of the administration, to check
