H0tO to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Bay
A Family Supply, Saving g and
Fully Guaranteed.

A full pint of cough syrup-as much
as you could buy for $2.50-can easily
be made at home. You will find nothing
that takes hold of an obstinate cough
more quickly, usually ending it inside Of
"a hours. Excellent, too, for Group
whooping cough, sore lungs, asthma,
hoarseness and other throat troubles
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir for ?
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents worthy in a pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly,
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This is Just laxative enough to help
cure q cough. Also stimulates the sppe'
tite, which is usually upset by cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
the inflamed membranes is well known.
PineX is the most valuable concentrated
compound of Norway white pine extract,
rich in guaiacol and all the natural
healing pine elements. Other prepaTa'
tions will not work in this formula.
The Pinex and Sugar Syrup recipe is
now used by thousands of housewives
throughout the United States and Can
ada. The plan has been initiated, but
the old successful formula has never
been equaled.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction q
money promptly refunded, goes with tns
recipe. Your druggist has Pinex, or viii
get it for YOU. If not, send to I@
Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

Sympathy Unappreciated.

Just as a giggIng school girl entered
drug shop and made her way to the
soda fountain the white-coated attend
ant was engaged in vigorously shaking
up a chocolate and egg" Suddenly
the glass broke in his hands and the
deluge caused the young man TO present
the appearance of human eclair
Horrifed, the girl at once ceased to
giggle, and. with a most sympathetic
air, leaned toward the white coated
one saying, for the want of something
else:
II am so sorry! Did the glass break?"
The attendant gave her a whitening
look. Did the glass break" he re-
peated. "Oh. no; the glass didn't
break! You just happened to drop in
on me as I was taking my morning
shower!"
