Most cough cures and cold cures are
constipating, especially those that con-
tain opiates. Kennedy's Laxative
Cough Syrup is free from all opiatcs
and it cures the cold by gently moving
the bowels and at the same time it
soothes irritation of the throat and lungs
and in that way stops the cough. 1t is
especially recommended for children,
as it tastes nearly as good as maple
sugar. We sell and recommend it. =
