Protect Children
After Influenza
Colds Attacking Weakened System
May Lead to Pneumonia

The chief danger in this epidemic
is after a flu attack. Then. more
than ever. the slightest cold may lead
to bronchitis, pneumonia, or second
and more severe case of flu.
Flu nearly always leaves the stom-
ach upset. Internal medication
should. therefore, be avoided. as 1t so
often further disturbs the digestion
and thus retards recovery.
But if fresh cold comes, don't let
the child keep 1t overnight. just rub
vicks on throat and chest at bed
time. As it is applied externally.
vicks can be used freely and often.
with no fear Of upsetting a delicate
stomach.
Vicks act 2 ways at once (both
absorbed and inl1aled) to check the
cold and avoid serious complications.
And, of course, 1t is just as good for
adults.-Adv.
