How To Use Vicks Vapoßub For Deep Grippy Colds First, It Is Very Important That a Thorough Rubefacient or Counter-Irritant Effect he Produced on the Surface of the Skin Around the Lungs.

This Draws the Blood From the Congested Lungs and ] Lessens the Danger of I‘neu- , monia. i THEN TREAT WITH VICKS i Deep, grippy colds. frequently , leading to pneumonia, have been un- • usually prevalent this winter. In some sections they are called infill- | enza, but are so much milder than < the influenza cases during the first . epidemic that health authorities , have not agreed as to whether these • cases are all due to the same infee , tion, or even wether there has been | any real influenza. "Flu" Germ Discovered New light has been thrown upon | these matters by the announcement by Dr. Simon Flexner, director for | the Rockefeller Institute of Medical , Research, that the germ of influenza has been identified. The institute staff, thru experiments on. rabbits, has found how this germ injures the lung tissue so that it is no longer . able, as it is in health, to destroy the common bacteria of the nose and throat that cause bronchitis and pneumonia. Dr. Fexner also says, "Recent reports received from abroad and from points in the United States indicate that a secondary wave of epidemic influenza, relatively mild in c harac ter. is passing over parts of Europe and America." Thq Danger Is From Pneumonia It. therefore, behooves anybody who develops a deep, grippy cold to take his case seriously and work fast if all danger of pneumonia is to be avoided. What is needed is some thing to decrease the congestion or the lungs. For this purpose there, is nothing like a rubefacient or coun-ter-irritant, as witness the use of blisters, poultices and plasters for > generations. This counter-irritation reddens the skin —draws the blood from the congested parts to the surface; the circulation is improved; there is a sense of warmth and the possibility of pneumonia is greatly lessened. Quick Counter Irritant Needed The value of this counter irritant effect is greatly increased if it is produced quickly. Nearly every family has its favorite method onion poultices, turpentine* stupes, mustard plasters and poultices of various kinds—all are good. A very simple method is to apply I towels wrung out in hot water, as hot as the patient can stand. This not only reddens the skin quickly, but also opens the pores so that more Vicks can be absorbed. Some however, prefer to use an ordinary mustard plaster, as the redding effect lasts longer. Parts to be Treated Whatever method is used, the application should be applied over the throat and chest until the skin is thoroughly reddened. In very deep colds, the sides and especially the back from the middle of the shoulder blades to a point just above the waist, should also be treated. The patient should be given a good purgative and. if convenient, a hot mustard footbath for ten minutes—one tablespoon of mustard to a gallon of water. Rub Vicks in, Then Spread on After the skin is thoroughly reddened. it should be dried lightly and immediately the patient should lie given a brisk massage with Vicks all over the parts. Continue this for five minutes. This increases the*

counter-irritant effect. Then apply Vicks thickly over all the parts; that is. spread it on as you would a poultice about one-sixteenth of an inch thick or more—and cover with two thickness of hot flannel cloths. Vicks Acts in Two Ways Thus applied Vicks has a double action. First. Vicks is so made that the body heat gradually releases the ingredients in the form of vapors. The more Vicks applied, the stronger will be the vapors and the longer these vapors will last. The night clothing should always be loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form of a funnel. These vapors being lighter than air. rise* up from the chest and. If the lied clothing is properly arranged, pass by the nose and mouth and are thus inhaled with each breath, carrying tho medication directly thru the air passages to the lungs. The second ai t ion of Vicks is external- by absorption thru and .stimulation of the skin. Repeat From the Beginning When the vapors begin to lose their strength, fresh Vicks should be applied over the throat and chest. This to keep up the continuous supply of vapors. When the redness of the skin dies out, all the Vicks remaining should be wiped off and the entire treatment repeated. That is. the hot wet towels or mustard plasters should be used until the skin is again thoroughly reddened, then massage with Vicks, spread-on thic k ly and cover with hot flannels, ly and cover with hot flannels just as previously done. When the Patient Chokes Up Sometimes when the patient is badly choked up. the* vapors from th** applications on the chest are not sufficient to make the breathing easier. In these cases drop a tablei spoonful of Vicks into a kettle of boil;ing water and allow the patient to inhale the warm steam and vapors | combined for about 10 minutes. Do this several times a day if needed. Keep the water boiling and put in additional Vicks whenever the vapors decrease. Put a sheet over the patient and the tea-kettle, making a kind of a tent. Must be Used Freely This is vigorous treatment, but to ; cluck congestion requires vigorous measures. Vicks must be used freely to lit* effective. The cost of the* treatment is insignificant compared with the results which are frequently obtained. | Docs Not Take the Place of the Physician In all cases a physician should he called. These deep colds are too serious and have too many complications to rely entirely on any home medication Vicks, however, does not interfere with any treatment that the doc tor may pres* ribe. In addition the formula of Vicks is given on every circular, so there is no reason why any doc tor should object to its use, except the fact that a few physicians do not care to use anything which is advertised directly to the public. A Pharmacist's Discovery Vicks Vapoßub is the discovery of a North Carolina pharmacist. Front the back room of a little drug store its use has grown until today literally tens of millions of families are never without the familiar blue jar. It is their standby for all forms of cold troubles and. in addition, is useful for the many minor ailments of the home. It is particularly a boon to mothers with small children, because it is externally applied. Over 17 million jars are used yearly in the United States alone.

The kidneys help filter this acid from the blood and pass it on to the bladder, where it may remain to irritate and Inflame, causing a burning. scalding sensation, or setting up an irritaton at the neck of the bladder. obliging you to seek relief two or three times during the night. The sufferer is in constant dread; the water passes sometimes with a scalding sensation and is very profuse; again, there is difficulty in voiding it. Bladder weakness, most folks call it because they can’t control urination. While it is extremely annoying and sometimes very painful, tins is often one if the most simple ailments to overcome. Begin drinking lots of soft water, also get about four ounces of Jad Salts from your pharmacist and take a tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast. Continue this for two or three days. This will help neutralize the acids in the system so they no longer are a source ol irritation to the bladder and urinary organs, which then ad normal again.
