DRUGGISTS! YlCK'S VAPORUB
SHORTAGE OVERCOME AT LAST
A TREMENDOUS JosTo INCREASE
OUR PRODUCTION

In this emergency we tried to do our
part. We secured the country for raw
materials-our Traffic Manager spent
his days riding freight cars in-we
shipped raw materials in carload lots
by express and pleaded with manufac-
turers to increase their deliveries to ua.
But it was slow process. Some Of
our raw materials are produced only
in Japan-supplies In this country
were low and shipments required three
months to come from the Far East.
Then we had to recruit and train
skilled labor. We brought our sales
men into the factory and trained them
as foremen. We invented new ma
chinery, and managed to install 1t on
Christmas Day, so as not to interfere
with our daily production.
143 JARS OF vAPoRUB EVERY
MINUTE DAY AND NIGHT
By January 1st we had everything
ready to put on our night shift, and
since then our laboratory has been
running day and night. To feed our
automatic machines, which drop out
one hundred and forty-three jars Of
VapoRub minute or one million and
eighty thousand weekly, has required
a force of 500 people. Our Cafe De-
partment, created for the benefit Of
these workers, served 1000 meals dur.
ing the month of January alone.
13 MILLION JARS OF VAPoRUB
DISTRIBUTED SINCE OCTOBER.
An idea Of the work we have ac-
complished this fall may be given
by our production figures-13, ,028,976
jars Of VapoRub manufactured and
distributed since last October-one jar
for every two families in the entire
United States.
During the influenza epidemic Vick's
VapoRub was used as an external ap-
plication in connection with the physi-
clans treatment, and thousands Of peo-
pie, unable to obtain a doctor; relied
on. Vick's almost exclusively.
Literally millions Of families all over
the country, from Cali,
fornia to Maine, and ~
from the Great Lakes Nl6c.1

The reason this famous root and herb
remedy, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
compound, was SO successful in Miss
keliy's case was because it went to the
root OF her trouble, restored her to .
normal healthy condition and as a result
her nervousness disappeared.

Earthquakes in 1918.

The official report of the Georgetown
university seismological station, Wash
ington, shows that during the year
1918 there We're recorded on the Sc
ismographs 90 earthquakes. From dis
patches received the location of 81
quakes of Importance was ascertaiped.
OF these three were disastrous, the
first occurring in Guatemala, the sec
ond In China, and the third in Porto
Rico. No disturbance of any conse-
quence is tabulated as having taken
place in the United States.

ourselves that interest them, it's what

The Deal Scheduled for Last
November, Which Was Post
poned on Account Of the Influ-
enza Epidemic, l. Now Rein
stated Good During the
Month of March.
OVER ONE MILLION JARS
OF VAPORUB PRODUCED
EACH WEEK

It is with pride that we announce
to the drug trade that the shortage of
Vick's VapoRub, which has lasted since
last October, is now overcome. Since
January 1st, we have been running our
laboratory twenty-three and half
hours out of every twenty-four. Last
week we shipped the last of our back
orders, and retail druggists, therefore.
are no longer requested to order in
small quantities only.
NOVEMBER DEAL RE-INsTATEp
This deal. which we had expected to
put on last November and which had to
be postponed on account of the short
age of VapoRub, is re-instated for the
month of March. This allows dis
count of 10% on shipments from job
bers' stock of quantities of from 1 to
4 gross. SO of this discount is allowed
by the jobber and 5%c by us.
We advise the retail druggists to
place their orders Immediately. so that
the jobbers will be able to get prompt
shipments to them.
THANKS OF THE PUBLIC DUE THE
DRUG TRADE DURING THE
INFLUENZA EPICEMIc.
The thanks of the American public
are certainly due the entire drug trade
retail, wholesale and manufacturing
for what they accomplished during
the recent influenza epidemic. The
war caused shortage of physicians
nurses were almost impossible to OBJ
tain-the demand on the drug trade
was unexpected and overwhelming,
and to this demanl they responded
nobly. Retail druggists kept open day
and night and slept where they drop
ped behind the prescription counter.
Wholesale druggists called their sales
men off the road to help fill orders
hundreds wired us to ship Vick's Vapo-
Rub by the quickest route, regardless
of expense.

is WORTH GOING
100 MILES FOR
That is What Mrs. Burns SAYS of
Tanlac-Gains Nine
Pounds.

Il had to go sixteen miles to get
my first bottle of Tanlac, but from the
way the medicine helped me, | would
gladly go a hundred miles rather
than be without it" said Mrs. George
NJ. Burns, of 1900 Spruce Ave-, Kan
sas City, Mo, to a Tanlac representa-
tive, recently.
For six months before | commen-
ced taking Tanlac | had suffered a
reat deal with stomach trouble and
Indigestion" continued Mrs. Burns,
Il simply didn't have any appetite at
all and what little did manage to cat
didn't seem to do me much good, be-
cause ! couldn't seem to get any
strength and | was so awfully nervous
| could hardly stand a bit of noise and
even the bark Of a dog would upset me
completely. My kidney gave me a lot
of trouble, too. because I.suffered a
lot with pains in my back and l fin
ally got so weak and run down in
health / wasn't able to do my house
work.
II was in just this condition When
a friend of mine, who had taken Tan
lac and been greatly helped by it, told
me I ought to take it. At the time, l
vas living at Chautauqua, Kan, and
had to go to Sedan, about sixteen miles
away, to get the medicine, but it was
certainly worth going that distance, or
more for, because the Tanlac helped
me almost from the very start. Ny
appetite picked up right away, SO !
continued to take Tanlac and now
car eat just anything l want and what
| eat does me good, too, because I am
gaining in strength right along.
have already gained nine pounds in
weight and my nerves are in fine con-
dition and ! can sleep just as soundly
at night as a child and get up in the
morning feeling perfectly rested ant
refreshed. Tanlac has certainly built
me up, because my general healtr
hasn't been as good as it is now fol-
years and | have recommended the
medicine to many of my friends anC
all who have taken it tell me they have
been benefited. Tanlac has done me
more good than anything l have evel
taken and | cheerfully recommend il
for stomach trouble and for those whc
need a genral building up" {
