{ LIQUIDATION IN MARKET. ‘ New'York, Feb. 10.—Another wave af liquidation and short selling swept sver the stock market today, carrying prices far below levels reached last weels, when the slump of foreign ex- change caused serious impairment. Little attention was paid to free of- fer of call money at 10 per cent., 2 subsequent rate of six per . and the January tonnage report of the United States Steel Corpora- tion, confirming reports of mounting business in that important industry was altogether ignored. In the further absence of construc- tive leadership it was comparatively easy to bring about additional shrink- age of quoted values. This was es- pecially true of stocks which are like- Jy to be most adversely affected by narged readjustment of foreign trade gonditions. g Shares of leading shippiay com- panies again reflected this prospect to & considerable extent, but heaviness, which later verged upon acute weak- ness, was shown by steels, oils, motors and specialties of all descriptions. Rails of the highest grade also par- ed in the decline, extensive of- ferings of those issues probably re- suiting in large part from the threat- ed walkout of one of the railway brotherhoods. According to trustworthy reports, much of today’s selling bore the stamp of foreign origin, which was accepted as an aftermath of the recent col- Japse of international credits. Offerings were unrcgtrained in the final fifteen minutes, when it was rumored that further curtailment of loans was under way. Net losses of § to almost 20 points were made by General Motors, the va- rious mootr specialties, oils, shippings, equipments, steels, textiles and a wide variety of miscellaneous issues. lowest prices generally at the feverish close.

' Where Vicks Began The Drug Store in which O. Henry Spent His Boyhood This is the drug store in Greensboro, N. C., purchased by Mr. Lunsford Rich- ardson in 1888 from Dr. Porter. Dr. Porter was the uncle of “Will’ Porter, who, under the nom-de-plume of O. Henry, became America’s greatest short story writer. O. Henry practically grew up in this store and learned here the profession of pharmacy. It was during his years behind the prescription counter of this drug store that Mr Richardso.. worked out the formula for Vicka. Directions fc+ the Use of Vicks ICK’S VapoRub comes in salve form. When applied to the body its action is two-fold. 1st—INTERNAL. The heat of the body releases the ingredients in the form of vapors. These vapors are in- haled with each breath, carrying the medication through the air passages to the lungs. 5 2nd—EXTERNAL. In addition, Vicks is absorbed thru and stimulates the skin, attracting the blood to the surface and aiding the vapors inhaled to gelieve the congestion. . For Deep’ Chest Colds, Sore Throatj Bronchitis, Coughs, Hoarseness Forsevere cases, hot, wet towelsshould be applied over the throat and chest to open the pores of the skin. Then Vicks should be rubbed well in, spread on thickly and covered with two thick- nesses of hot, flannel cloths. The clothing should be left loose around the neck and the bed clothes arranged in the form cf a funnel, so that the vapors arising may be freely inhaled. For Hoad Colds, Asthma, Catarrh, - * Hay Fever, Whooping Cough For these troubles, Vicks can be used as for chest colds or can be melted in a = =R b () R \ewd Where Vicks spoon and the vapors inhak: ; or a little applied up the nostr’ 5 and snuffed back into the air p-ssages. For Spasmodic Croup azd Children’s Colds Vicks is particularly recommended for children’s colds, since it is exter- nally applied and can, therefore, be used often and freely with perfeét safety. For spasmodic croup, rub Vicks over the throat and chest until the difficult breathing is relieved; then spread on thickly and cover- with a. hot flannel cloth. An application &t bedtime usually prevents a night attack of croup. For Use as a Liniment, Poultice or Plaster On account of its penstrative and rubefacient effect on the skin, Vicks has been found excellent for many minor ailments, such as Bites, Boils, Burms, Bruises, Cuts, Frost bite, Itchings, Muscular Soreness, Poison oak, Sun- burn, Headache.

Last winter: druggists in many sections were out of Vicks for months How the Use of this External Treat- ment for Cold Troubles Has Grown ORE than a score of years ago, Luns- ford Richardson, a druggist in a little North Carolina town, was trying to find a new way to treat spasmodic croup and colds. He had been trying to find it for years —he needed such a treatment in his own home —he knew that epicac and internal medicines disturbed the delicate digestions of children— that the only way to get medication directly to the air passages and lungs was in vapor form. So he was searching for an effective vapor treatment which would be economical, convenient, and which could be used without the necessity of closing up the sick room and thus excluding the fresh air. so important in the treatment of colds. At last, this druggist found a process by which he could combine in salve form the standard, time-tested remedies— Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus, Thymol and Turpentine —with other volatile oils so that when this salve was spread over the throat and chest the ingredients would be vaporized by the body heat. These vapors, inhaled with each breath all night long, carried the medication directly to the parts affected and at the same time the salve was aosorbed thru and stimulated the skin, aiding the vapors inhaled to relieve the congestion. This product was nameéd Vick’s VapoRub. ; Now over 17 Million Jars . are used yearly Vicks was found to be good for a great many troubles besides spasmodic croup, and as time went on, its sale increased county by county and state by state, until now over 17 million jars are used each year —almost one jar for every family in the United States. And this in spite of the fact that Vicks is still a new form of treatment to many people in the North and far West. ; The best testimony to the value of Vicks is the increasing number of famfiies who, each” year, are converted to the use of this real “Little Bodyguard in the Home.” - Here is the record of the number of jars used annually for the last ‘ew years: I s e i ey 1911 523,152 Jare 1912 1,027,068 Jars 1913 1,%7,580 Jars 1914 1,462,330 Jars 1915 2,418,213 Jars 1916 4,302,764 Jars 1917 6,799,511 Jars 1918 ‘ . 17,377,408 Jars sician should always be called. Many other troubles, such as chronic catarrh or con- tinued headache, call for thediagnosis of'a good doctor- Vicks is simply an emergency remedy, which can be kept in the home ready for igstant use and which can be used freely, with perfect safety, on the youngest member of the family.
