Pneumonia attacks the air cells
Of the lungs. An Inflammation
is set up and matter is thrown
off which causes the air cells to
solidify, thus preventing the
natural flow of blood thru the
lungs. This backing up" of
the blood causes the heart to
pump harder, just as stepping on
a hose increases the water pres
sure, which is the reason why,
during this disease, the physician
watches the overburdened heart
so carefully.
After recovery the lungs are
filled with a mass of wreckage-
the debris of the battle-which
must be gotten rid of by a process
known as resolution. Frequently,
infamed spots remain, congestion
persists. cough hangs on, and the
least exposure brings on a cold
that is hard to get rid of. If
neglected, such damaged air pas
sages may easily develop serious

Such cases should always con-
tinue under a physicians care

be made to see that nature is

Nightly applications of Wick g
Vapo-Rub will aid nature IN this
work. Because Vicks acts locally
by stimulation thru the skin to
draw out the inflammation, at
tract the blood away from the
congested spots and relieve the
cough. In addition, the medici-
nal ingredients of Vicks are
vaporized by the body heat.
These vapors are breathed in all
night long, thus bringing the
medication to bear directly upon
the infamed areas.
Vicks should be rubbed IN
over the throat and chest until
the skin is red-then spread on
