Make This and Try 1t
for Coughs
This Home. Made Remedy has
no Equal for Prompt
Results.

Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
y. pint OF warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 21a ounces of Pinex fifty
cents, WORTH in pint bottle; then add
the Sugar Syrup. Take teaspoonful
every one. two or three hours.
This simple remedy takes hold of a
cough more quickly than anything. else
you ever used. Usually conquers an
ordinary cough inside of "a hours.
Splendid, too, for whooping cough,
spasmodic Group and bronchitis. 1t
stimulates the appetite and is slightly
laxative, which helps end a cough.
This makes more and better cough
syrup than YOU could buy ready made
for $3.50. 1t keeps perfectly and tastes
pleasant.
Pinex is most valuable concen-
tiated compound of Norway white pine
extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural pine elements which are
so healing to the membranes. Other
preparations will not work in this plan.
Making cough syrup with Pinex and
sugar syrup Tor strained honey has
proven so popular throughout the United
States and Canada that it is often
initiated. But the old, successful mix
ture has never been equaled.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pinex Co., Fl. Wayne, Ind.
