A tickling cough, from any cause, is
quickly stopped by DR.. Shops Cough
Cure. And it is so harmless and safe,
that DR.. Shoop tells mothers everywhere
to give it without hesitation, even to
very young babies. The wholesome
green leaves and tender stems of a lung
healing mountainous shrub, furnish the
curative properties to DR.. Shops Cough
Cure. Ii calms the cough, and heals the
sore and sensitive membranes. No
opium, no chloroform, nothing harsh
used to iDjure or suppress. Simply a
resinous plant extract, that helps to heal
aching lungs. The Spaniards call this
shrub which the Doctor uses, "The Sac
red Herb" Demand DR.. Shoop's. Take
no other. j. L. Pitcher & Co.
