Applied Over Throat and Chest It Relieves coias wiuiuuv internal "Dosing." Fifteen years ago, in a little Nortt Carolina town, a druggist aiscoverea 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 ap plied externally the body heat would vaporize these ingredients. These vapors, inhaled all night long, carry the medication with each breath di rect to. the air passages and lungs. Today this vapor treatment, vick a VnnoRub. 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 r hildrMi. it is aonlied externally and' hence does not disturb the most deli cate stomach. Colds are easiest treat-. , ed at the beginning and VapoRub 4 makes the ideal preventive for the en tire family. This preparation comes m saive form and its action is twofold. Ex ternally, it is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, taking out that tightness and soreness in the chest. Internally, the vapors inhaled loosen the phlegm and open the air passages. For croup or colds just rub a little over the throat and chest and cover with a warm flanne cloth. One appli cation at bedtime prevents a night attack of croup. - "t For very severe chesfcolds, ton silitis, .bronchitis or incipient pneu monia, hot, wet towels should first be applied oyer the parts, to open the i pores of the skin and then use Vapo Rub. For headcolds, asthmatic or ca tarrhal troubles a little VapoRub. can be rubbed up the nostrils or melted in a spoon and the vapors inhaled. .- -The manufacturers know that an actual trial is the best way to prove how valuable VapoRub is hv the home and they have accordingly furnished ; each druggist in Omaha with 60 free packages, to be given away on pre sentation of the coupon below.
