1t is the only remedy that will liquify the
tough, tenacious mucus incident to colds
and render it easy to eXpectorate.
1t is the only remedy that will cause the
expulsion of mucus from the air cells of the
lungs.
1t is the only remedy that will counterfeit
the effect of a severe cold and greatly miti-
gate, if not effectually cure the cold within
one days time. To do this it must be used
as soon as the first symptoms of the cold
appear.
1t will cure severe cold in less time than
any other treatment.
1t is the only remedy that will prevent
Group.
1t is the only remedy that has cured
thousands of cases of Group without single
failure.
1t is the only remedy that will prevent
all dangerous consequences from whooping

1t is pleasant and safe to take. There is
not the least danger in giving IL to children

ways required in case of Group and some
