With ONE Treatment
IKTHEN rubbed over
W throat and chest for all
kinds of cold troubles Vicks
VapoRub does two things at
once:
(1) Its ingredients are vaporized by
the body heat and inhaled direct to
the inflamed air passages, loosening
the phlegm and easing the difficult
breathing. and
(2) At the same time it warms and
stimulates the skin like an old-
fashioned poultice, "drawing out"
the soreness and pain and thus aid-
ing the vapors inhaled to break up
the congestion.
This double action of Vicks usually
relieves the most stubborn cold over
night.
