You just rub it on the throat and chest and this twofold action begins immediately: (1) Like a poultice, it acts through and stimulates the skin, "drawing out" the tightness and pain; (2) At the same time, it is vapor- ized by the warmth of the body, and its medicated vapors are inhaled all night long direct to the inflamed air-passages, loosening the phlegm and easing the difficult breathing. This double direct treatment checks most colds by morning. It has been found effective for the cold-troubles of adults'as well as children in millions of homes for more than 20 years.
