More than two generations ago ? In
grandmother's day ? mothers first dis
covered Vicks VapoRub. Today it is
the most widely used home-remedy for
relieving miseries of children's colds.
And here is the reason . . .

the throat, chest and back at bedtime
it starts to work two ways at once?
and keeps on working for hours? to
ease coughing spasms, help clear con
gestion in cold-clogged upper breath
ing passages, relieve muscular soreness
or tightness. It promotes restful sleep.
Often most of the misery of the cold
is gone by morning! That's why
VapoRub is so good to use when colds
