VICKS ARTICLE ENJOYABLE

I am grateful to Diane Tennant for her article about Vicks VapoRub (Daily Break, Nov. 14). By the time I got to the end, I couldn't stop laughing.

I too suffer from a stopped-up head (especially at night), sometimes to the point that it awakens me out of a deep sleep. I also conjured putting Vicks Vapo-Rub up my nose but figured the burning sensation would be worse than having a stopped-up head. I'll stick with nasal spray.
