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.
