Vivaporu! The story of how Vicks vapo rub got so famous

1.Lunsford Richardson is a pharmacist from North Carolina who invented Vicks Vapo Rub in 1890
2.Some people claim that rubbing Vicks on the soles of your feet at night will calm a cough. Although this is not proven through scientific research a valid explanation could be: What if sensory nerves in the soles of the feet respond to stimulation with Vicks VapoRub by calming a nighttime cough? Remember that the cough center is right next to the spinal cord. If the sensory nerves in the soles of the feet stimulate the spinal cord, they might be able to interrupt the cough cycle.
