WILSON AND-HIS CQNGRESS President Wilson asked for a Democratic Con- gress. The country has selected a Republican Congress, to convene next March. Meanwhile President Wilson has a Democratic Congress. An early peace would enable President Wilson to plan and direct much of the necessary reconstruction work, if his Democratic Congress would be dom- inantly Democratic.

This condition still prevails. At this writing we have back orders for eighteen thousand (18,000) gross and our orders each day are double our daily output. The epidemic, how- ever, is descreasing in most sections, the.demand is slacbening and we are working night and day to catch up. In the meantime, we ask the trade to be patient) with us. . ENORMOUS SHIPMENTS HAVE WIPED OUT EXCESS STOCK On October 1st we had on hand at the factory- and in twenty warehouses over the country a tremendous stock of VapoRub accumulated during the sum- mer months. This is. now gone—we actually shipped during the month of October over three million jars of VapoRub. We are speeding up our factory as much as possible and the problem now is to distribute the fac- tory’s output as quickly as possible. We have, therefore, for the time being, abandoned freight shipments and are shipping either by Parcel Post or ex- +| press—trying to give each jobber at least a little stock. IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS TO DRUG. GISTS IN INFLUENZA DISTRICTS Preference is being given to- those sections stricken by influenza. In or- der to reach these sections as quickly as can be, we are, during this emer- gency, making shipments by Parcel Post, direct, to the retail trade, of not more than three (3) dozen 30c size in any one shipment. We prefer that the jobbers order these shipments for their trade, but to save time we will, if the need is urgent, ship direct on re- ceipt of check or money order. Natur- ally, no new accounts can be opened during this rush. . SAMPLES AND INFLUENZA BOOK- LETS FREE ON.

How to Fightiti SPANISH INFLUENZA By Dr. L, W. Bowers, Avoid crowds, coughs and cowards, but fear neither germs nor Germans! Keep the system in good order, take plenty of exercise inthe fresh air and practice cleanliness. . Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin, and clean {bowels are a protecting armour against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons. within, it is best to take a vegetadle pill every other day, made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and su- gar-coated, to be ha dat most drug stores,.known as Dr. Pierces Pleasant Pellets. If there is a sudden onset of what appears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap. warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi- ously of hot lemonade. If pain de- .velops in head or back, ask the drug- gist for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will flush the bladder and kid- neys and garry off poisonous germs. Wo-controf the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. The pneumonia appears in a most | treacherous way, when the influenza, victim is apparently recovering and anxious to leave his, bed. In recover- ing from a bad attack of influenza or pneumonia the system should be built up witha good herbal touic, such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov- ery, made without alcohol from’ the roots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontic (iron tonic) tab- lets, which can be obtained at most larug stores. or send 10¢ to Dr. Pierce's Invalid’s Hotel, Buffalo, N. Y. for trial package. ——X—X—X—X—X he still is in a very serious condition as a result of the aggravation of a chronic trouble ‘by Spanish in¥lu- enza. [POPULAR BISMARCK YOUNG COUPLE WED Louis A.

We will also be glad to mail to any individual one of these booklets, together with a quarter- ounce ,sample,, free. HOW TO USE VAPORUB IN TREAT: ING SPANISH INFLUENZA In every case call a physician-- VapoRub should only be used in con- nection with the physician's internal treatment. Apply hot, wet cloths over the throat chest and back between the shoulder blades to open the pores. Dry lightly and rub VapoRub well in until the skin is red—spread on thickly and cover with hot) flannel cloths. Leave the bed covering loose around the neck, ag the body heat releases the ingredients in the form of vapors, These vapors, inhaled with each breath stimulate tha; lining of the air pas- sages to throw off the . influenza germ. In case of head or chest. cold, the vapors tend to keep the. air pass- ges open, loosen the. phlegm and make the breathing easter. In addi- tion, VapoRub ig absorbed through and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface, and thus aids in relieving the congestion within. HOW TO USE VICK’S VAPORUB AS A PREVENTIVE It is questionable if there is any- thing which will prevent Spanish In- fluenza, except avoiding those persons who are spreading the disease by coughing, sneezing and spitting, and by keeping up the bodily resistance by plenty of good food and exercise in the open air. The Public Health Ser- vice recommends ‘that the nasal ‘pass- ages be coated,with a weak solution of Menthol in liquid petroleum as a protective. For this purpose Vapo- Rub is excellent. Just put a small portion up each nostril from_time to time during the day and snuff well back into the head. KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY IN- HALING VAPORUB Colds irritate the lining of the air passages and thus render them a much better breeding place for the germs. At the first signe of a cold use ‘Vapo- Rub at once, Melt a little in a spoon and inhale the vapors arising, or VapoRub can be used in a. regular benzoin steam kettle, such a3 most druggists carry in stock. If this is not available, a very good substitute to use is an ordinary tea-kettle, Fill half-full fo’ boiling water—put in half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time to time—keep the kettle just slowly boil- ing and inhale the steam arising. ‘GREENSBORO, N.C. at ies
