The chief ingredients OF Mucu- Tone are
Gentian, Cubebs, Cascara Sagrada, Glyc-
crime and Sarsaparilla.
Gentian is recognized in medicine as one
OF the greatest tonics ever discovered. 1t
combines the tonic powers OF all known
''bitters," with none of the disadvantages
applying to any.
Cubebs have long been recognized as a
specific in the treatment of all catarrhal
conditions. Its action IS prompt and its
benefit lmost invariable.
Cascara Sagrada is especially introduced

The combination of these with Glycerine
