POPULAR RECIPE
This Homemade Cough Syrup
Stops Coughs Quickly.

Make a plain syrup by taking one
pint of GRADUATED Sugar, add one-half
pint of warm water and stir for two
minutes. Put two and one-half ounces
of pure Pinex in a pint bottle and fiji it
I'D with the GRADUATED Sugar Syrup.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours. Keep well corked and il
will never spoil.
The effectiveness of this simple home
made article is surprising. 1t usually
stops a deep seated cough in twenty
four hours. 1t is also excellent for
colds, whooping coughs, pains in the
chest. bronchial troubles and similar
ailments.
Use the real Pinex in making it.
however 1t is the most valuable con-
centrated compound OF Norway White
pine Extract. and il is far superior to
the numerous pine oil and pine tar
preparations. If your druggist does
not have it he can get it for you with
out trouble.
The proportion above suggested
makes a full pint of the best cold and
cough remedy. The taste is so pleasant
that children take it willingly. The
total cost is about 81 cents.
Strained honey can be used instead
of the syrup, and makes a very fine
honey and pine tar cough syrup.
