Tcy This H0n1e@Made
Cough Remedy
Costs Little, But Does the Work
Quickly, or Money Refunded.

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful
every one, two or three hours.
You will find that this simple rem
edy takes hold of a cough more quickly
than anything else you ever used. Usn-
ally ends a deep seated cough inside
of "a hours. Splendid, too, for whoop-
ing cough, Group, chest pains, bronchi-
tbs and other throat troubles. It slim
ulates the appetite and is slightly lax
alive, which helps end>a cough.
This recipe makes more and better
cough syrup than you could buy ready
made for $3.50. It keeps perfectly and
tastes pleasantly.
Pinex is the most valuable concen.
trated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and all
the natural pine elements which are so
healing to the membranes. Other prep
arations will not work in this formula.
This plan of making cough syrup with
Pinex and sugar syrup Tor strained
honey has proven SO popular through
out the United States and Canada that
it is often initiated. But the old, sue.
cessful formula has never been equaled.
A guaranty Of absolute satisfaction,
Or money promptly refunded, goes with
this recipe. Your druggist has Pinex or
will get it for YOU. If not, send to The
