HotO to Make
Better Cough Syrup than
You Can Buy
A Family supply, Saving 81 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
y pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 2l2 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in a pint bottle, then add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
This is lust laxative enough to help
cure cough. Also stimulates the appe-
tIte, which is usually upset by cough.
The taste is pleasant.
The effect of pine and sugar syrup on
the lnttamed membranes is well known.
PlneN Is the most valuable concentrated
compound OF Norway white pine extract.
rich in guaiacol and all the natural
healing pine elements. Other prepara-
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 Cam
ada. The plan has been initiated, but
the old successful 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
Plnex Co, TT. Wayne, Ind.
