time. You couldn't buy as much or as

nate cough in "A hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly laXa-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent rem.
edy, too, for whooping cough. Group sore
lungs, asthma. throat troubles. etc.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
u pint of warm water. and stir FOR 2
minutes. Put y I, ounces of Pinex fifty
cents worth) in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.

three hours.

known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Piney is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all the other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared it to thousands of house
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.
