To Prevent Flu and Golds Three Rules You Should Observe ( 1 ) Sleep 8 hours With window! wide open , (2) Eat wUely exercise regularly don't worry (3) Avoid crowd and persons having cold i Ilu This Vear Is flller The rules given above, recom mended by the New York City Hoard of Health, arc guides to good heallH at. all times. Particularly should they be followed just now, when Influerusn Is again abroad In tho land. Authorities agree, how ever, thut the flu this year Is less severe than In the last epidemic the atta'cks are shorter and the death rats lower. In fact, many phyBlclas Insist that the epidemics now hsini reported from so many sections are not flu at all, but simp ly the old-fashioned grop. Keep Uie Air Passages Healthy. While we know very little more about the flu now thai, we did last year the germ Itself has never been positively Identified still most authorities agree thut the flu germs are breathed In. If the sys tem la In cood shape and the mem brane or lining of the air passages Is in healthy condition these germs are thrown off. A gonil plan Is to melt a little Vlek's VapoRub in a spoon, niKht and morning, and Inhale the Va lium, iilo apply a little up the nos trils several times a day. especially JUBt before being exposed to crowds. Treat VII Colds promptly. Above all, keep free from colds, as colds irritate the lining of the a r pi.Hsages and make them real breeding frrounda for rierms. Prompt use of Vick's Vapolt ib aids in preventing colds. For head colds sore throat or hoarsened rfcb Vick's well over the throat ar.d chest and cover with a warm flan nel cloth. For deep hsteelds, se vere sorethroat or bronhltis. hot wet towels should first he applied to the throat, chest and bark be tween the shoulder blades, to c ;,cn the pores. Then Vicks should be rubbed in over the parts until the aitln is red spread on thickly and covered with two thicknesses of hut flannel cloths. I,eav6 the cluth Ing loose around the neck, so the vapors released by the body heat may be freely Inhaled. These vapors, Inhaled with oach breath, carry the meditation direct ly to the lungs and air passages. At the same time Vlcks is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, thus aiding to relievo the conges tion within. Use of Kxternal Treatments for lil-. Increasing. Vick's Vupoltub is the discovery of a North Carolina druffRtat who found how to combine in salve form the standard time'-teeted rem edies, Camphor Menthol Euca lyptus Thyme, etc. so that when the salve Is applied to the body heat these ingredients are liberat ed lh the form of vapors. ViCks is particularly recommend ed for children's croup or colds, since It is externally applied and therefore can be used freely and often without the slightest harmful effects. The best evidence of the value of Vlcks is the steadily increasing number of people who have been converted to the uso of this "out side" treatment. Beginning with the customers of a small retail drug store, the use of Vicks has grown year by year slate by state until now more than 17 million Jars are used annu ally. And this In spite of the fact that Vicks ,s a new form of treat ment to many folks in the North and West. Yioi'.s can be had at all druggists in three sizes -30c, COc, or $1.20.
