Try This Famous Pinex
Pint Of Cough Syrup"
A Family Supply for soc, Saving So
Tho surest, Quickest Remedy You
Ever Used or Money Refunded.

A cough remedy that saves you 81, and
is guaranteed to give quicker, better re-
suits than anything else, is surely worth
trying. And one trial will show you why
Pinsx is used in more homes in the U. S.
and Canada than any other cough remedy.
You will be pleasantly surprised by the
way it takes right hold of a cough, giving
almost instant relief. 1t will usually stop
the, most obstinate, deep.seated cough in
"a hours, and is unequaied for prompt
results in whooping cough. :,
A 5O'cent bottle of Pinex. when mixed
with homemade sugar syrup, makes full
pint of the best cough remedy ever used.
Easily prepared in five minutes-directions
IN package.
The taste is pleasant-childrcn take il
willingly. Stimulates the appetite and is
slightly laxative-both excellent features.
Splendid for Group, hoarseness, asthma,
bronchitis and other throat troubles, and
q highly successful remedy for incipient
lung troubles.
Pinex is a special and highly concen-
trated compound of Norway White Pine
extract, rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Simply mix with
sugar syrup or strained honey, in a pint
bottle, and it is ready for use.
PineN has often been initiated, but never
successfully, for nothing else will produce
the same results. The genuine is guaran-
teed to give absolute satisfaction or money
refunded. Certificate of guarantee IL
wrapped in each package. Your druggist

THE TEA PENALTY.
A Strong Mans Experience.

Writing from a busy railroad town
the wife OF an employe OF one Of the
great roads says:
MY husband is n railroad man who
has been so much benefited by the use
press his thanks to you for the good
1t has done him. His waking hours
are taken UP with his work. and he
has no time to write himself.
"He has been a great tea drinker
all his life and has always liked It
strong.
Tea has. OF late years. acted on
him like morphine does upon most
people. At first it soothed him. but
only for an hour or SO, then it began
to affect his nerves to such an extent
that he could not sleep at night, and
he would go to his work in the morn
ing wretched and miserable from the
loss Of rest. This condition grew con-
stantly worse, until his friends per-
suaded him. some four months ago, to
quit tea and use Postum.
AT first he used Postum only for
breakfast, but as he liked the taste Of
1t, and it somehow seemed to do him
good, he added 1t to his evening meal.
Then, as he grew better, he began to
drink 1t for his noon meal, and now
he will drink nothing else at table.
His condition is so wonderfully i'm.
proved that he could not be hired to
give up Postum and go back to tea.
His nerves have become steady and
reliable once more, and his sleep is
easy, natural and refreshing.
He owes all this to Postum, for he
has taken no medicine and made no
other change in his diet.
His brother. who was very nervous
from coffee-drinking. was persuaded
by us to give up the coffee and use
Postum and he also has recovered his
health and strength" Name given by
