Each Year More
Mothers Treat
Colds Externally
The Danger* of "Dosing" Colds Now
Avoided by Use of Modem
Vaporizing Ointment
When Vlcks VapoRub was introduced,
mothera especially were
quick to appreciate it, because It la
j11.si rubbed on and cannot upset
children's delicate stomachs,as''dosing"
Is so apt to do. Today, the whole
t rend of modem medicine Is away
from needless "dosing."
Ah more and more mothers adopted
this modem oxtamai treatment,
the fame of Vicks spread until today
It is the standby for colds?adults' ,
us well as children's?in over BO
countries.
Just rubbed on throat and chest,
Vicks acts through the skin like a
plaster: and, at the same time its
medicated vapors, released by the
body heat, are inhaled direct to the
inflamed air-passages, loosening the
phlegm and easing the dlfttcult
breathing.
Ever-increasing demand for thia
better method of treating colds is
shown in the familiar Vick slogan. 1
Made famous when Vicks reached
"17 Million Jars Used Yearly"?
later raised to "21 Million"?there
are now "Over 20 Million Jars Used
Yearly."
