never had anything give me as much benefit as
Pine Root has. My throat would appear to fill
up and choke me. What have suffered cannot
be described oDly by those who have been

distress when received the first bottle of Pine
Root, which was recommended to my husband
by our druggist, who said IL was sold on posi-

and slept sOundly all night.
Those who have suffered with asthma we'll
