A druggist’s discovery A number of years ago a North Caro- fina druggist, searching for a better way to treat colds, hit upon a wonderful formula. He combined In the form of « salve the best of Nature's remedies for colds —Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus, ‘Thyme and Turpentine, with other val- uable ingredients. When this salve is applied over the throat and chest it not only penetrates | and stimulates like a liniment, but the ingredients are released as vapors by the body heat. Thus the medication is carried with each breath thru the nose and throat to the lungs. Now used from coast to coast ‘This remedy, Vicks VapoRub, won in not within many | @ral, for many years in @ highly 4% feate state of health, and the care of the school, yearly ravaged by suc | consi ve ‘tions of the sons of thoee who could afford to educate their sons there were, it may be men tioned, established sources of income to the firm.
