Many Cases Of
Grippe Reported
in Augusta
Local People Urged to Use
Vigorous Measures to Com
bat Further Spread of Deep
Grippy Colds.
PNEUMONIA CHIEF DANGER
Grippe Attacks Weaken Body's Re-
sistance to Germs of Pneumonia
All Colds Should be Treated
Promptly.

Deep grippy colds have been un-
usually prevalent her, this winter.
The situation is fairly general
throughout the States. In some sec
tons these colds are called "infiu-
enZa," but the majority of health
officers report that they are much
milder than the original epidemic
and resemble more. closely the old.
fashioned la grippe. They are usu.
ally accompanied by headache or
achy feeling over the body. running
of the nose" sneeZing and frequently
by gastric and Intestinal complica-
tons such as hiccoughs, nausea,
diarrhea, etc.
Colds are too often neglected I'M
til they have lowered the vitality
sufficiently to permit the lurking
germs. which cause pneumonia. bron-
chitiS and influenza to attack the
body.
Don't Take Chances
The only safe plan is to attack a
cold right at the beginning. A hot
foot bath, laxative, a sweat and a
vigorous application of Vicks Vapo-
Rub at bedtime over throat and chest
will often break up cold over night.
For hours after Vicks is applied
the vapors of camphor, menthol,
eucalyptus, thyme and turpentine,
released as vapors by the body heat,
are inhaled directly into the infected
air passages. At the same time it
warns and stimulates the skin like
a poultice,' drawing out" the sore
ness and pain.
1t is an obstinate cold indeed that
can resist this direct. double action.
vicks vapor Steam
If the air passages are badly
stopped up, try the "teakettle and
tent" treatment. This method
fully explained in the directions
consists. briefly, of vaporizing Vicks
in teakettle and arranging news
paper tent" over the patients head
so that the combined warm steam
and indicated vapors can be inhaled.
Mothers especially appreciate
Vicks for the frequent colds of chill
dren, as it can be used freesy apA
often, without disturbing the diges-
tion-you Just rub it on" Over Il
million jars are used yearly.-Adv.

attention to the generosity of num-
