This Hos7ze-M1de Cough
Syrup LL,iLt Surprise You
Stops Even Whooping Cough
Quickly. A Family Supply
at Small Cost.

Here is a homemade remedy that
takes hold of cough instantly, and will
usually cure the most stubborn case in
"a hours. This recipe makes pint
enough for a whole family. You couldn't
buy as much or as good ready-made
cough syrup for $3.50.
Mix one pint of graduated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir 2
minutes. Put 215 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly
and has a pleasant taste-children like
it. Braces up the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end a cough.
You probably know the medical value
of pine in treating asthma, bronchitis
and other throat troubles, sore lungs,
etc. There is nothing better. Pinex is
the most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway white pine extract, rich in
guaiacol and all the natural healing pine
elements Other preparations will not
work in this formula.
The prompt results from this inexpen-
sive remedy have made friends for it in
thousands of homes in the United States
and Canada, which explains why the
plan has been initiated often, but never
successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or VIII
