A safe plan is to check every cold at the start by a vigorous applica- | tion of Vick's Vapo Rub, rubbed on throat and chest at bedtime | Acts 2 Ways at Once Four hours after Vick's is applied, its ingredients. time-testod remedies such as camphor. menthol. eucalyp. tus, thyme, and furpentine, released as vapors by the body-heat, and inhaled direct to the infected | air-passages, loosening the phlegm and easing the difficult breathing.
