Rub Away hildren’s Colds Let them breathe in healing vapors all night HE MOTHER'S PROBLEM- Wise mothers know that daily outdoor exercise in childhood lays the foundation for strong bodies in later life. Daily means Winter as well as Summer. But with outdoor exposure some colds are bound to come. And we know now that colds are not just “simple” colds. They must not be neglected. Much of the catarth, deafness and ill health of adults is now laid by physicians to the neglected colds of childhood. On the other hand, constant inter- nal dosing must not be thought of. This is the mother's problem these cold Winter days. VER 92 million jars of Vicks have been used in che past five years. Vis Little Stomachs Rebel Against Dosing Anzious mothers are too apt to dosetheir children continually. Often this upsets the deli- cate little stomach, An upset stomach means a poor appetite.

ICKS POoRuB Over 17 Mittion Jars Useo Yearty PAGE HE PROBLEM SOLVED —Vicks VapoRub—the external, vaporiz- ing treatment—has solved this prob- lem for literally millions of mothers. They let the kiddies romp out doors but at the first sign of “sniffles” they apply Vicks over the throat and chest at night. It is externally applied and so can be used frequently without upsetting the digestion. The ingredients, teleased by the body heat, are inhaled with each breath, stimu- lating the air passages to throw off the cold germs. At the same time, Vicks increases the circulation of the blood throughout the chest region, thus helping to prevent any congestion developing. This use of Vicks will prevent man colds and save much precious cig te and vitality. + HOW VICKS SHOULD BE USED For Spasmodic Croup, Children’s Colds —Rub Vicks over the throat and chest until the difficult breathing is relieved, then spread on thickly and cover with a hot flannel cloth. One application at bedtime usually prevents a night attack of croup. For Deep Chest Colds, Sore Throat, Tonsiliti Bronchitis, Coughs—Rub Vicks briskly over pe) throat and chest.
