IF A COLD has given you
a miserable sore throat,
here’s how to relieve the
suffering.
DO THIS NOW—Melt a small lump
of VapoRub on your tongue and
feel the comforting medication
slowly trickle down your throat—
bathing the irritated membranes
—bringing blessed relief where you
want it, when you want it.
DO THIS TONMHT — Rub throat,
chest with VapoRub. Its long con
tinued poultice-and-vapor action
loosens phlegm, relieves irritation,
eases cough
ing, invites
restful sleep.

You can aid wartime bus service by planning
essential trips for February or March —
instead of Mid-Summer
Never in history has it been so important to choose with
care the time and occasion for travel. Through the
years bus travel has always been very heavy in some
months, less heavy in others — and this has held true
even in wartime when the demands on transportation
are naturally increased. That’s why Greyhound has
long urged everyone to travel during less crowded
periods—and February and March are just such times.
Essential trips taken in mid-winter will greatly relieve
overcrowding in the mid-summer months ahead.
