Mothers Treat Cold Troubles The Direct Way Hawera Parents Are Delighted with the New “External” Method of Treating Children’s Colds that Does Away with Constant Internal “Dosing.” It is no longer necessary for mothers to "dose” their children in order to break up colds and croup. Van Staveren Bros., Ltd., importers of Wellington, recently introduced in New Zealand* the famous vapourising ointment which has proven so popular in Canada and the States where over 17 million pots are used annually for treating all forms of cold troubles. This remedy is known as Vicks Vapoßuh. Offer to -Mothers. Chemists throughout New Zealand are now selling 2/6 pots of this new “outside” remedy on 30 days’ trial. All mothers are urged to take advantage of this offer. Buy a pot of Vicks from any chemist and, after using all or part of it, if you are not delighted with the results just return the pot to the chemist from whom it was bought and he will refund the purchase price without question. Vicks is the invention of a chemist who discovered a new way of combining time-tested remedies, such as Camphor, Menthol, Eucalyptus, Thyme, etc., in the form of an ointment so that, when applied to the throat and chest, the ingredients are vapourised by the body heat and inhaled with each breath directly into the air passages and lungs. At the same time Vicks is absorbed through and stimulates the skin, thus aiding the vapours inhaled in breaking up the congesiion. Just Rub It On. For sore throat, bronchitis, deep chest colds or croup, Vicks is rubbed briskly over the throat and chest and covered with hot flannel. For head colds, asthma, catarrh or hay fever, Vicks can either be applied up the nostrils and sniffed up the head, or a little melted in a tin cup or spoon and the vapours inhaled. ’ 34
