This Draws the Blood From
the Congested Lungs and
Lessons the Danger of
Pneumonia.
THEN TREAT WITH VICKS

Deep. grippy colds. frequently
leading 20 pneumonia. have been
unusually prevalent this winter. In
some sections they are called in
nuerza but are not so vlrulent as
the Influenza cases during the first
epidemic. tho they are worse than
ordinary colds. For these cases the
usual light application OF Vicks Is
not sufficient.
The Danger Is From Pneumonia.
What Is needed therefore IS
something 20 decrease the con-
gestion OF the lungs For this pur-
pose there is nothing like a rube-
facient or counter-irritant. as wit
ness the use of blisters. poultices
and plasters for many generations.
This reddeninc or irritation OF the
skin causes a rush Of blood 10 the
surface; the circulation is inn
proved; there is a sensation OF
warmth and the possibility Of pneu-
monia is greatly lessened.
\ Quick" Rubefaolent Needed.
The value OF this counter-irrltant
effect Is greatly increased n Il Is
produced quickly. Nearly every
family has its favorite method
onion poultices. turpentine stupes.
mustard plasters and poultices OF
various kinds are All good.
How 10 Produce This Effect.
our experiments have shown that
an ordinary mustard plaster is very
effective. Use one part Of mustard
TO two parts Of -four or faxseed
meal for adults. and one N three
parts for children under eight
years. An even simpler method
particularly for adults. Is to apply
towels. wrung out in very not water
AS hot Ne the patient can stand
Whatever method Is used. the ap-
plication should be applied over
the throat and chest until the skin
is thoroughly reddened. In very
deep colds. the sides and especially
the back from the middle Of the
shoulder blades to point Just
above the waist. should also be
treated. For adults. a hot mustard

ard 10 a gallon OF water-given Al I
this stage OF TIE treatment. will aid |
IN drawing the blood from the con-
yested parts
Then Massage with Vicks.
After the skin Is thoroughly red
lened it should be dried lightly and
the patient should be
,iven a brisk massage with Vicks
~ over the parts Continue this for
I've minutes. This increases the
effect. Then apply
