outdoor exercise in all weathers. When they
come in wet and "sniffling," a good application
of Vicks at bedtime will usually banish all signs
of cold by morning.

Vicks should be melted in a spoon and the vapors
inhaled, or a little can be applied up the nostrils and
snuffed up the head.
For Spasmodic Croup, Childrens Colds—Rub Vicks
over the throat and chest until the difficult breathing
is relieved, then spread on thickly and cover with a
