Effective Immediately. No Be Made MMN" % All Shipménts o to When the influenza epidemic struck fhe country and wiped out our ware- Rouse and jobbers' ‘stocks almost over-night, we were faced with the problem of distributing — to _the stricken districts—in the quickest possible manner—our daily product of poRub. We solved this by offer- ing to ship direct to the retailers in these influenza districls, by paroel post prepaid, quantities of not more than tHYes Aozen VapoRub in any one shipment, and by shipping what ~was Jeft from our dafly production to our jobbers by express instead of freight. This was costly, but it solved the problem for the time being. Now, however, we find that these small shipmenis .are constantly increasing— we have received as many as 1,306 in a single mall. 1t is becoming impos- sible for us to @l these m‘mur and instead of distributing our more uickly, they are really © process. o ‘We believe that we can serve you better nqw by reverting to our for- mer policy of shipping éxclusively through the jobber, and, effective im- mediately, no more drop shipments will be made. . ‘While we have put on a night shift and have, thereby, about doubled | our production, we are still unable to fill our back orders and. won't be able to give each jobber all the VapoRub e wants. Hence, it will be nevessary for the jobber to continue distribu- | ting VapoRub in small lots only. But we will be able to furnish each | jobber at least twice the quantity of | VapoRub that he purchesed for the corresponding month last year, so there should not be any difficulty in your getting your pro rata share. We feel that the public appreciates the service that the retail and whole. sale drug trade have rendered the country in this time of stress. We | wish to express to both branches of the trade our thanks for the kind co- operation extended us in our efforts to meet this emergency.

Benoni Meunier, who was engaged in building the fire, Was ‘quite badly burned about the face, hands and legs by the explosion. Whil> the burns Le received are severe and cause him much suffering, they are not of a dan- gerous nature. He was attended by Dr. J. N. Perreault. Mr. Meunier was not in’ the. habit of starting_the fire, but had agreed to do it on Thursday morning. Intanding to use kerosene tv start the fire, he selected a bottle fill- ed" with gasoline, used about the mil- inery worlshop, and whei the flame came in contact with this the explo- sion oceurred. If Private Leon Benars, loutille, member of D Bujtery, 56th Artillery, gets a gold stripe for every wound he_ has recejved in action he will bring back to Killingly what prob- ably will be a record for the United itates and.a uniform so decorated that it likely would make Ex-Kcheeser Wilhelm green With envy., Private Bernard arrived in New York Wednesday on the transport Cel- tic from France. A New York news- paperman who interview him “wrote: “The returning soldiers speak light- Iy of their wounds. It tuKes half an hour to make Leon Benard of Ballou- ville, Conn.. even admit that he was wounded af all. Yet Benard suffered 62 vounds, was gassed, almost blinded, All of ihis occurred in one engagement at hateau Thierry, where he was fight- = with the 56th Coast Artillery.

"!}naerra.gins reports of the fewer cases of influenza in this vicinity should not allow us to relax our vigii- ance or to become careless in the be- lief that the danger is all over,” says & well known authority.~ With the coming of cold weather there 1s-apt to be & return of this frightful epi- demic and its seriousness will depend on the extent of the precautions taken by_the public to prevent infection. When_ the air is full of influenza germs, you may be constantly breath- Ing them into your nose and throat. But their danger may be avoided and you may make yourself practically immune to infection if you destroy the germ before it actually begins work in_your bicod. D uring the fecent serious epidemic, which hit Norwich so hard, most suc- cessful results were obtained by many through the simple breathing into the nose, thtoat and lungs of the medicat- #d at of oil of Hyomel. Probably ho better, safer or more sensible precau- thon against influenza, grippe, coughs, ¢olds, bronchitis or catarrh of the nose and throat could be emploved than to 80 now to the nearest drug store and get a complete Hyomel outfit consist- ing of a bottle of the pure Ofl of Hyomei and a little vestpocket hard rubber inhaling deviee into which a few drops of the ofl are poured. and friends the moment you come to our store and see our Christmas Gift Goods. exactly what to buy for You will your family Your Christmas money will “‘go far” m our store. In | Carry this inhaler with you during the day and each half hour or so put it In ‘your mouth and draw deep breaths of its pufe healing germicidal air into the passages of your nose, throat and lungs to destroy any germs that may have found lodzement there. This simple precaution may save vou a serious illness and the loss.of several weeks' work. It is pleasant to use and not at all exvensive, as the in- haler will last a_lifetime and further supplies of the Oil of Hyomel can be had at any drug store Hundreds of people in this used Hyomei in this way during the sis and avoided danger, They i ot Qrmmn il = THE LIVE STORE . - ON THE SQUARE IN NORWICH l TIMELY SUGGESTIONS —F8R— \ fi 1’ il it big Australian found his rolling on the ground it agony and carried him | a dresf'ng station” ms recefved from the war de- partment by his father, Leon Benard, E of Ballouville, have .nfermed him that the boy had been seerely wound- ed in action, and letters recefved from | the soldier during .October and later told something of his ‘njuries, but not of ‘their -extent.
