NEW S from vour I
PHARMACIST/
By R. H. Patterson
Many inflammations of the
nose, throat, larynx and lower
respiratory passages are soo
thed or improved when the air
that is breath
ed has a high
moisture con -
tent.
Vapor! z e r s
or mist produ
cing machines
are most help
ful around peo
ple with the ab-
ove mentioned troubles. "Cr
oupy ’’ children find relief when
they breathe this moisturized
air.
Heating a house many times
just heats the air, and dries
out the moisture. Plants do
not do very well under the
conditions—so, it is the same
with people.
Excellent moisture - pro
ducing machines are available
for you to enjoy better health,
and faster recovery from
