A Quarter Century Os Service “If a man write a better book or preach a better sermon or build a better mouse-trap Tho he live in trie depths of the forest The world will beat a path to his door.” —EMERSON 25 years ago a small druggist—in a small town—discovered anew way—an “external” way—to treat colds. So Vicks was born. And for a quarter of a century, in ever increasing numbers, the world has beaten a path to its door. Until today more than 17 million Jars go out yearly to serve the people of this land.

Avoid Influenza—Grip—Pneumonia How To Apply Vicks To Help Avoid These Infections How To Use Vicks In Case You Are Attacked

DEEP, grippy colds—frequently leading into pneumonia—have been unusually prevalent this winter. Some authorities insist that they are a form of influenza, not so virulent as the influenza during the first epidemic, though they are worse than ordinary colds. Vicks As A Preventive. Most medical authorities now agree that these troubles are germ dTseases—commonly spread by breathing in the germs. If the system is in good shape—the membrane of the air passages in a healthy condition—these germs do not ordinarily breed. Keep a little Vicks rubbed up the nostrils at all times, particularly when exposed to crowds. At night melt Vicks in a spoon and inhale the vapors, or better still, use Vicks in a teakettle as directed below. This treatment helps to keep the air passages in good condition. The Danger Is From Pneumonia. The chief danger lies In the development of pneumonia. What is needed therefore is something to decrease the congestion of 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 many generations. This irritation reddens the skin —draws the blood from the congested parts to the surface; the circulation is improved; there is a sensation of warmth and the possibility of pneumonia is greatly lessened. A “Quick” Rubefacient 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. Avery simple method is to apply 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 reddening effect lasts longer. Get Skin Thoroughly Red. 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. Then Massage With Vicks. After the skin is thoroughly reddened, it Rhould he dried lightly and immediately the patient should be given a brisk massage with Vicks all over tho parts. Continue this for five minutes. This increases tho counter-irritant effect. Then apply Vicks thickly over all the parts; that Is, spread It on as you would a poultice—about onesixteenth of an inch thick or more—and cover with two thicknesses of hot flannel cloths. Vicks’ Double Action. 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 he 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 bed clothing la properly arranged, pass by the nose and mouth and are thus iuhaled with each breath, carrying the medication directly thru the air passages to the lungs.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

ROBBERS’TOOLS CLEWS IN THEFT Masked Men Loot Safe After Tying Watchman. A collection of sledge hammers, chisels and tools on exhibition at police headquarters today furnished clews in a safe robbery at the Grocer's Baking Company, 957 W. New York St. Henry Phillip Strebing, 57, of 336 Agnes St., night watchman, was covered with revolvers by three masked men Saturday night. He was forced to go to the office, where he was tied in a rocking chair. The robbers forced open a safe, took the contents and locked the safe again. Strebing, breaking the arm of the chair, reached the telephone. The burglars had escaped. George Jofiin, bookkeeper for the company, told police the safe contained $550 cash, and checks amounting to SBOO. The burglars were traced to New York St. and Hanson Ave., in the snow. There footprints mingled with others. DECISION FRIDAY IN SIGMON CASE ; Judge Collins to Give Ruling on Conviction. I After two days of wrangling in i Criminal Court in the trial of Charles ' M. Sigmon of Sigmon Bros. Coal Comj pany, who appealed a fine of $25 from city court, where he was convicted of giving short weight in coal deliveries to city school. Judge James A. Collins announced he would give his finding Friday morning. The defense was fought on techni calities. First Sigmon’s attorneys objected to a correction made by the State In the affidavit sworn against him, which alleged that a load hi? driver hauled to School No. 43, Fortieth St. and Capitol Ave., billed at 5.000 pounds, weighed only 4,770 pounds. Then they attempted to prove the driver was on his way to another scales to check up the weight, knowing that Sigmon's scales were broken, when he was arrested. Sigmon has the contract to furnish coal for city schools.

The second action of Vicks is external — by absorption thru and stimulation of the skin. Repeat Treatment. 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 he 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 thickly and cover with hot flannels, just as previously done. Steam and Vapor Method. Sometimes when the patient is badly choked up, the vapors from tho application on the chest are not, sufficient to make the breathing easier. In these cases drop a tablespoonful of Vicks into a kettle of boiling water and allow the patient to Inhale the warm steam and vapors combined for about 10 minutes. Do this several times a da.v 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. Take no chances with these grippy colds. Remember, Vicks must be used freely to be effective —and always call a doctor.
