CINCINNATI, Nov. 17, 2008, 2008 /PRNewswire-FirstCall via COMTEX/ -- To mark the introduction of Vicks DayQuil Plus Vitamin C and NyQuil Plus Vitamin C, Vicks has teamed up with Marion Ross, one of America's most beloved television moms, "Mrs. C," from the popular 70's sitcom Happy Days, to create Chapters of Care, a compilation of tips from America's favorite television moms on how they care for their loved ones during the cold and flu season.
Featuring tips from such well-known television moms as Florence Henderson, Shirley Jones and Meredith Baxter, consumers can download their own copy of Chapters of Care for free at Vicks.com.

I'm especially excited because Vicks is bringing together DayQuil and NyQuil to help relieve multiple cold symptoms, now with Vitamin C to replenish what the body needs."
