«IR TO USE VICK'S.VAPORUB IN
TREATING SPANISH INFLUENZA
The Influenza Germs Attack the Lining of the Air Pas
sages. When VapoRub Is Applied Over Throat and
- Chest, the Medicated Vapors Loosen the Phlegm,
Open the Air Passages and Stimulate the Mucou«
Membrane to Throw Off the Germs.
In Addition, VapoRub is Ab
sorbed Through and Stimu
lates the Skin, Attracting
the Blood to the Surface and
Thus Aids in Reducing the
Congestion Within.

Principally Patienta In a Rnn-Down
Condition—Those Who Don't Go to
Bed Soon Enough, or Those Who Get
T7f Ton Early.
Spanish Influenza, which appeared In
8paln in May, has all the appearance
Of grip or la grippe, which has swept
over the world In numerous epidemics
ns far back as history runs. Hippocra
tes refers to an epidemic In 411 B. C.
which Is regarded by many to have
been Influenza. Every century has had
Its attacks. Beginning with 1831. this
country has had five epidemics, the
last in 1888-1890.
THE SYMPTOMS.
Grippe, or Influenza, as it is now
called, usually begins with a chill, fol
lowed by aching, feverishness and
sometimes nausea and dlssiness, and
a general feeling of weakness and de
pression. The temperature Is from 100
to 104, and the fever usually lasts
from three to five days. ' The germs
attack the mucous membrane, or lining
if the air passages—nose, throat and
Nronchlal tubes; there is usually a
nard cough, especially bad at night,
tad frequently all the appearances of
c severe head cold.
THE TREATMENT.
Go to bed at the first symptoms, not
only for your own sake, but to avoid
spreading the disease to others—take
a purgative, eat plenty of nourishing
food, remain perfectly quiet and don't
worry. Quinine, aspirin or Dover's
Powder, etc., may be administered by
Che physician's directions to relieve
yie jtch lng._But there Is no cure or

Oil bas been a standard household remedy
for kidney, liver, bladder and stomach
trouble, and all diseases connected with
the urinary organs. The kidneys, and blad
der are the most important organs of the
body. They are the filters, the purifiers of
your blood.' If the poisons which enter
your system through the blood and stom
ach are not entirely thrown out by the
kidneys and bladder, you are doomed.
Weariness, sleeplessness, nervousness,
despondency, backache, stomach trouble,
headache, pain in loins and lower abdo

specific fer Influenza—the disease must
run its course. Nature herself will
throw oft the attack If only you keep
up your strength. The chief danger
lies in the complications which may
arise. Influenza so weakens the bodily
resistance that there Is danger of pneu
monia or bronchitis developing and
sometimes inflammation of the middle
ear, or heart affections. For these
reasons. It is very important that the
patient remain in bed until his
strength returns—stay in bed at least
two days or more after the fever has
left you. or If you are over 60 or not
strong, stay In bed four days or more,
according to the severity of the attack.
EXTERNAL APPLICATIONS.
In order to stimulate the lining of
the air passages to throw off the
grippe germs, to aid in loosening the
phlegm and keeping the air passages
open, thus making the breathing eas
ier, Vick's VapoRub will be found ef
fective. Hot, wet towels should be ap
plied over the throat, chest and back
between the shoulder blades to open
the pores. Then Vick's should be
rubbed In over the parts until the skin
Is red. spread on thickly and cover
with two thicknesses of hot flannel
cloths. Leave the clothing loose
around the neck, as the heat of the
body liberates the ingredients in the
form of vapors. These vapors, in
baled with each breath, carry the med
ication directly to the parts affected.
At the atme time, VapoRub le ab
sorbed through and stimulates the
skin attracting the blood to the sur
face and thus aids In relieving the con
gestion within. '
HOW TO AVOID THE DISEASE.
Evidence seems to prove that this
is a germ disease, spread principally
by human contact, chiefly through
coughing, sneesing or spitting. So
avoid persons having colds — which
means avoiding crowds — common
drinking cups, roller towels, etc. Keep
up your bodily strength by plenty of
exercise In the open air and good food.
Above all keep free from colds, as
colds Irritate the lining of the air pas
sages and render them much better
breeding places for the germs.
Use Vick's VapoRub at the very first
sign of a cold. Fot a head cold, melt
a little In a spoon and inhale the va
pors. or better still, use VapoRub In a
benzoin steam kettle. If this Is not
available, use an ordinary tea-kettle.
Fill half-full of boiling water, put in
half a teaspoon of VapoRub from time
to time—keep the kettle Just slowly
boiling—Inhale the steam arising, p
Vick's VapoRub can be had In three
sises —30c, 60c, 81-20—at all druggists.

DRIVE AUSTRIANS
TO OWN FRONTIER
GAIN NEARLY FORTY MILES ON
THE ITALIAN FRONT FROM
BRENTA TO PIAVE RIVER.
With the American Army in
France.
In the Italian theater over a front
of nearly 40 miles from Ute Brenta to
the middle reaches of Ute Piave river,
the British, French and Italian ar
mies are developing with success an
offensive against the Anxtro-Hunga
rlans and are swiftly driving them
from the mountain passes toward the
Austrian frontier and across the
plains east of the Piave In northern
Italy. American reserves are behind
the lines prepared to aid the allies
when the moment arrive*.
On all of the other battle fronts
the allied armies continue to be suc
cessful.
In Belgium there has been little
fighting except by the artillery, whik
in the region around Valenciennes
only minor encounters are reported.
Farther south the French are con
tinuing successfully their process ef
leveling the old salient between the
territory east of SL Quentin and
Rethel. Additional progress baa been
made by General Debeney's troops,
despite the violent resistance of the
Germans. On some sectors the Ger
mans are slowly retreating.
Aside froiç artillery and machine
run activity there baa been little
fighting on that part of the front held
by the Americans from the Meuse
river to the vicinity of Grande Pre.
The Germans have been heavily bom
barding the American positions wich
the Americans answering them shot
' for shot. The new big guns of the
I Americans are violently sbejling Ger
! man positions far behind the lines,
i taking under their Are towns of stra
j tegic importance and troop forma
! tions preparing to be sent as rein
forcements to important points of the
crumbling battle line.
Confians, west of Metz, and the
principal Junction point of communi
cation with the big fortress on the
Moselle and Spincourt and Dommary
Baroncourt, also important railway
junctions, all were under heavy fira
from tho American guns throughout
Tuesday. American aviators are con
tinually aiding the artillerymen.
Large numbers of prisoners and nu
merous guns have been taken by the
allied troops in the big battle that
has been in progress on the Italian
front. The allies, particularly the
British, are well across the Piave
river from where the battle line in
the mountains curves and bends
southwest toward the Adriatic.

AINCREVILLE TAKEN
BY AMERICAN BOYS
HUNDREDS OF GUNS AND INNUM
ERABLE MACHINE GUNS HAVE
BEEN CAPTURED.
Washington. — Thirty-three thou
sand Austrian troops, hundreds of
guns and innumerable machine guns
have been captured by Italian and al
lied forces on the Italian front, said
an official dispatch today from Rome.
The Thirty-second American Infantry
Regiment has gone into action and
the fighting now extends practically
all along the course of the Piave
River.
The Austrians are resisting stub
bornly, throwing in many new divi
sions, but have not been able to stop
the advancing forces.
"Our offensive Is developing farth
er south," said the dispatch, "and
stretches practically all along the
course of the Piave. The Third Army
is now In action successfully. The
line between the Brenta and the sea
is strongly held by the greater part of
the Italian army alongside of which
is the Fourteenth Army Corps of Brit
ish troops and a French division. The
Thirty-second American Infantry Reg
iment is now also in action.
"The enemy is resisting with excep
tional stubbornness and Is throwln
into the fray new divisions, without,
however, being successful in holding
back our troops. In the Grappa re
gion the troops of the First Italian
army with the support of the Twelfth
army has been successful in beating
the enemy at Seguslno and has con
quered Mont Gesen. The Eighth army
has occupied the narrow pass of Fol
lina and has already reached Vittorio.
The Tenth army after having estab
lished solid bridgeheads over the Mon
ticano River has crossed the river and
is advancing along the road Snegli
ano- Odrzo. The Third army, after
neutralizing the formidable artillery
fire of the enemy, has crossed the
Piave and San Dona di Piace and east
of Zenson.
"The number of prisoners captured
up to the present moment amounts ta
802 officers and 32,198 men. Hundreds
of guns have also been captured. It
is impossible to calculate the number
of machine guns which have fallen
into our hands.
"In Albania our troops, after beat
ing the rear guards of the enemy,
have occupied San Viovanni di Medua
and are rapidly advancing on Scu
tari."
An earlier official dispatch from
Rome said that more than 100 villages
and towns had been liberated since j
the offensive began and that the Aus
trian army corps on the left had re
tired' in disorder, leaving behind war
material and several hundred guns.
The position of the Sixth Austrlau
army corps was described as very
critical.
