Earl Mann of 204 E. Compton
St., Brazil, Ind., has a better
way and. writes:
"When our baby had a severe
cold, we applied Vick'i VapoRub
on his throat and cbeit and the
next morning he wai well. I also
applied it on a little child with
the croup and in fifteen minutes
he was easier."

with perfect safety. It relieves
by absorption thru the skin
and by inhalation as a vapor.
