It seems TO you that that tickling, hacking cough is all in the throat. But your doc tor will tell you that this sen- sation is often deceiving. The i cough is often the signal of deeper. trouble in the bron- schial tubes or in the lung tissue itself. These inhamed membranes can only be healed by treating the system. For all lung troubles, espe- cially in the earlier stages, no remedy equals Scott's Emul- sion of Cod-liver Oil. Its special power is in healing the inhalned tissues of the lungs.
