Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets, the substi
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action

that exuberance of spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.

Influenza Epidemic is De
creasing in Most Sections
and the Demand is Slack
ening But We Are Still
18,000 Gross Behind On
Orders and it Will Take
Some Time to Catch Up.
THREE MILLION JARS
SHIPPED DURING
OCTOBER.
On Monday, October 21, we ad
dressed an advertisement to the
wholesale and retail drug trade,
advising that we were badly oversold,
due to. the influenza epidemic, stat
ing, that all deals and quantity ship
ments were postponed, and request
ing that VapoRub be purchased in
Small lots only. This condition still
irevails.
At this writing we have back orders
for eighteen thousand (18,000) gross
find our orders each day are double
our daily output. The epidemic,
i'owever, is decreasing In most sec
ions, the demarid is slackening and
e are working night and day to
ratch up. In the meantime, v.e ask
the trade to be patient with us.
Enormous shipments have
wiped oct excess stocks.
On October 1st, we had on hand
at the factory and in twenty ware
houses over the country a tremendous
stock of VapoRub, accumulate! dur
ing the summer months. This is
wow gone we actually shipped dur
ing the month of October over
three million jars of VapoRub. We
re speeding up our factory as much
;:v, possible and the problem now Is
to distribute the factory's output as
fjuickly as possible. We have, there
fore, for the time being, abandoned
Ireight shipments and are shipping
either by Parcel Post or express
trying to giv.e each jobber at least a
little stock.
IMMEDIATE SHIPMENTS TO
DRUGGISTS IN INFLUENZA
DISTRICTS.
Preference is being given to those
sections stricken by influenza. In
order to reach these sections as
quickly as can be, we are, during this
emergency, making shipments by
.Parcel Post, direct, to the retail trade,
of not more than three (3) dozen
30c size in any one shipment. We
prefer that the jobbers order these
shipments for their rade, but to
pave time we will, if the need i urgent
ship direct on receipt of check or
money order. Naturally, no 'new ac
counts can be opened during this
ru3h.
SAMPLES AND INFLUENZA BOOK
LETS FREE ON REQUEST.
We have prepared a little folder
giving all the information available
so far on Spanish Influenza its origin
the symptoms and the treatment,
and these will be forwarded to drug
gists on request. We will also be
glad to mail to any individual one of
these booklets, together with a
quarter-ounce sample, free.
HOW TO USE VAPORUB IN
TREATING SPANISH INFLUENZA.
In every case call a physician
VapoRub should be used only ixi
connection with the physician's in
ternal treatment.
'Apply hot, wet cloths over the
throat, chest and back between the
shoulder blades to open the pores.
Dry lightly and rub VapoRrub well
in until the skin is red spread on
thickly ' and cover with hot flannel
cloths. Leave the bed-covering loose
around the neck, as the body heat re-,
leases, the ingredients in the form of
vapors. These vapors, inhaled with
each breath, stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the in
fluenza germs. In case of head or
chest cold, which often accompanies
influenza, the vapors tend to keep the
air passages open, loosen the phlegm
and make the breathing easier. In
addition, VapoRub is absorbed
through and stimulates the skin, at
tracting the blood to the surface, and
thus aids in relieving the congestion'
within. " !
HOW TO USE VICK'S VAPORUB
AS A PREVENTATIVE.
.It is questionable if there Is any
thing which will prevent Spanish In
fluenza, except avoiding those per
sons who are spreading the disease
by coughing, sneezing and spitting,
and by keeping up the bodily resis
tance by plenty of good food and ex
ercise in the open air. The Public
Health Service recommends that the)
nasal passages be coated with a weak
solution of Menthol -in liquid petrol-j
eum as a protective. For this pur-
pose VapoRub is excellent. Just put
a small portion up each nostril from:
time to time during the day and snuff
well back into the head.
KEEP FREE FROM COLDS BY
INHALING VAPORUB.
Colds irritate the lining of the air
passages and thus render them a
: much better breeding place for the
' germs. At th,e first signs of a cold
j use VapoRub at once. Melt a little
, in a spoon and inhale the vapors
arising, or VapoRub can be used in.
a regular benzoin steam kettle, such
I as most druggists carry in stock. If
I this Is not available, a very good
substitute to use is an ordinary tea
kettle. Fill half-full of boiling
water put in half a teaspoon of
j VapoRub from time to time keep
the kettle just slowly boiling and in
hale the steam arising.
