SMOTHER A COUGH.

You can smother a cough with
YOUR hand but you can't cure it
that way. Some medicines only
smother coughs.
SCOTS Emulsion cures them.
Old coughs and deep-rooted
coughs can't be cured until the
inflammation which causes them
has been replaced by healthy
tissue.
That is exactly the kind of
thorough work SCOTS Emulsion
does. 1t changes the entire
nature of the throat and lungs so
that there is nothing to cough
about.
