Amazing Results Reported In Medically Supervised Clinical Tests Sickness from Colds Actually Cut More Than Half

distress that comes with them, proved the worth of Vicks Plan.
 Vicks Plan is simple guide which emphasizes the importance ofproper personal care and the use of two specialized medications for relief of symp toms in different types and stages of colds-Vicks Va-tro-nol and Vicks VapoRub. When colds threat ened-at the first sniffle or sneeze-Va-tro-nol was used to help prevent many cold from develop ing. When cold got by all precautions, VapoRub was used to relieue its discoinforts.
 The results speak for themselves. Vicks Plan may do less for you7-or it may do even more. But with such record it certainly is worth trial It is directions in every package of Va-tro-nol or VapoRub.
