VAPORS IMPORTANT For diseases
of the respiratory organs, such as
colds, large part of the value Of Vicks
lies in its vaporizing qualities. There
fore, whenever Vicks is applied over the
throat and chest, care should be taken
TO leave the clothing loose around the
neck and the bed clothes arranged in the
form of a funnel, so that the vapoTs ar!s=
ing may be freely inhaled.
HOT WET CLOTHS In cases Of
very severe colds, sore throat, coughs,
incipient pneumonia, etc, hot, vet towels
should be applied over the throat and
chest to open the pores Of the skin before
applying Vicks.
FRESH AIR Plenty Of fresh air in
the bed room IS the best way to prevent
colds and lung troubles. Fresh air does
not cause colds; it strengthens the lungs,
enabling the system to throw off colds
ASTHMA Y:eks is not a cure III.
asthma-so far - We know, there is re-
cure. IN many cases, however, Vicks
does give relief. Rub it we'll over the
spinal column, from the neck to the hips
to relieve the nervous tension. Then
apply freely over throat and chest at bed
time and cover with hot faanels. Renew
frequently and always have the covers
loose, so that the vapors may be freely
inhaled. Also mclt Vicks in a spoon and
inhale the vspors and apply a little up
the nostrils.

What is Vicks?

Vcks is the invention of North Carolina
'ruggist, Mr.. L. Richardson. During his years
# experience behind the prescription counter,
Mr. Richardson came to realize the need for some
effective and convenient method of treating dis
eases of the respiratory organs, such as spasmodic
Group pneumonia, bronchitis, etc. The only way
to get medication directly to these parts is in vapor
FORM since internal medicines 60 only to the stomach
Mr. Richardson finally worked out process
of combining the standard, time-tested remedies
--Camphor, Menthol, Turpentine, Oil Of Eu-
calyptus, etc.-in save form, so that when
applied to the body, the ingredients would be
vaporized by the body heat. This preparation he
called Vick's VapoRub.
