This Draws the Blood
From The Congested
Lungs and Lessons The
Danger of Pneumonia.
Then Treat With Vicks

Deep, grippy colds, frequently
leading to pneumonia. have been
unusually prevalent this winter;
In some sections they are cSiled
influenza, but are not so virulent
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 to decrease the conges-
ton of the lungs. For this pur-
pose there is nothing like a rube-
facient or counter-irritant, as wit
ness the use of blisters, poultlces
and plasters for many genera
tons. This reddening or irrita-
ton of the skin causes a. rush OF
blood to the surface; the circula-
ton is improved; there is a SEN
sation of warmth and the posi-
bility of pneumonia IS greatly
lessened.
4 Quick" Rubefacient Needed
The value of this counter-irrl-
tant effect is greatly increased II
it is produced quickly. nearly
every family has its favorite
method onion poultices, turpen-
tine stupez, mustard plasters and
roultices of various kinds are all
good.
How to Produce This 2ifect
Our experiments have shown
that an ordinary mustard plaster
is very effective. Use one part
of mustard to two parts of flour
or flaxseed meal for adults, and
one to three parts for children
under eight years. An even SIM
pier method, particularly for
adults, is to apply towels, wrung
out in, very hot water-as hot
as the patient can stand. What
ever method is. used, the appll-
cation should be applied over the
throat and chest until the skin
is thoroughly redeemed. in very
deep colds, the sides end especial
w the back from the middle Of
the shoulder blades to point
lust above the waist, should also
be treated. For adults, 4 hot
mustard foot bath--one table
spoon of mustard to a gallon of
water-giyen at this stage of the
treatment, will aid in drawing
the blood from the congested
parts.
Then Massage With Nicks
After the skin is thoroughly
Redeemed, it should be dried light
w and Immediately and the pat
lent should be given a brisk mas
sage with Vicks all over the
parts. Continue this for five min
utes. This increases the counter
irritant effect. Then apply Nicks
thickly over all the parts; that
is. spread it on like you would
poultice-about one-SiXteenth
of an inch thick or more-and
cover with two thicknesscs of hot
flannel cloths.
Vicks Acts Like a FapOr Lamp
The advantage of applying
Vicks thickly over the body is
this: Vicks is so made that the
body heat gradually releases the
ingredients in the form of vapors
The more Vicks applied, the
stronger will be the vapors and
the longer these vapors will last.
The night clothing should always
be loose around the neck and the
bed clothes arranged in the form
of funnel. These Yapors being
lighter than air rise up from the
chest and, if the bed clothing IS
properly arranged, pass by the

Ten days prior to the late mayoralty

high captains of the Democratic party
ever dreamed that the vast majority
Of the colored people residing in the
Second and Third Wards would vote

day we located Mr.. Sullivan at the
Sherman House, but falling to remove
our hat when we approached him he
looked at US rather cross after we had
stated to him what Mr. Berg had said
to US in relation to advertising in The
Broad AK.
Mr. Sullivan simply asserted that
he was from the South; that he knew
the colored people and that he would
not spend one dollar Of Mr.. Berg's
money for advertising in The Broad

Berg was defeated, in his race for re-
election as one Of the commissioners
Of Cook county.
AT that same election hundreds and
hundreds Of dollars were freely paid
out to all kinds Of so-calIed white edi-

sidered great crime to cough up 40
or 50 dollars TO any colored news
