Fifteen years ago, in a little North
Carolina town, a druggist discovered
a process of combining the old-fashioned
remedies Camphor, Turpen
tine and Menthol with certain vola
tile oils such as Eucalyptus, Thyme,
Cubebs and Juniper, so that, when
applied externally the body heat
would vaporize these ingredients.
These vapors, inhaled all night long,
carry the medication, with each
breath, direct to the air passages and
lungs.
Today this vapor treatment, Vick's
VapoRub, is almost universally used
throughout the South in preference
to internal "dosing." It is quick in its
action, and what is more important,
particularly to mothers with small
children, it is applied externally and
hence does not disturb the most deli
cate stomach. Colds are easiest treat
ed at the beginning and VapoRub
makes the ideal preventive for the
entire family.
This preparation, comes in salve
form and its action is twofold. Ex
