THE RIGHT IDEA.

One would think the Laxative idea in cough syrup should have been ad- vanced long before it was. It seems the only rational remedy for Coughs and Colds would be to move the bowels and clean the mucous membranes of the throat and lungs at the same time. Kennedy's Laxative Honey and Tar does this. It is the Original Laxative Cough Syrup, the best known remedy for Coughs, Colds, Group, Whooping Cough, etc. Tastes good and harmless. Sold by s. B.
