North Carolina druggist L Richardson developed Vicks VapoRub to deliver respiratory remedies as a body vapor via skin application. He combined Camphor Menthol Turpentine and Oil of Eucalyptus in a salve so body heat vaporizes the ingredients for chest and throat relief.
The text describes how Vicks acts on the lungs by loosening phlegm and clearing air passages. It notes external absorption through the skin, drawing blood to affected parts to aid vapor inhalation in relieving congestion. It lists ailments from chest colds to burns and urges methods like applying rub and avoiding heat. It also warns not to expose treated parts to fire and to use snow or ice for cooling the skin.
