A North Carolina Drugeiss Solve
the Problem

"a iSoHuA Safoina Druggist Solves
the Problem
Thanks to Lunsford Richardson, a
druggist IN Greensboro, N. C., this
problem has been solved, and Southern
mothers have been given a method Of
treating cold troubles externally. Mr..
Richardson discovered salye that
would vaporize by the body heat when
applied OVER throat and chest. These
vapurs, inhaled with each breath, car
rcd the medication through the ar pas
Eages to the lungs, at the same time the
satve was absorbed thru and stimulated
the skin, attracting the blood to the sur
face and thus aiding the vapors inhaled
to relieve the trouble. This prepara-
ton Mr.. Richardson called Vick's
VapoRub.
