The Quickest. Simplest
Cough Remedy
Easily and CheapIy Made at
Home. Saves You So.

This plan makes a pint of cough
syrup-enough to last a family a long
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost in
slant relief and usually conquers an
ordinary cough in "a hours. This is
partly due to the fact that it is slightly
laxative, stimulates the appetite and
has an excellent tonic effect. 1t is
pleasant to take-children like it. An
excellent remedy, too, for whooping
cough, spasmodic Group and bronchial
asthma.
Mix one pint of granulated sugar with
u pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 215 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents worth in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take a teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine ID one of the oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Pinex is q most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing elements. Other
preparations will not work in this
combination.
The prompt results from this mixture
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.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction,
or money promptly refunded, goes with
this preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex, or will get it for yeu. If not,
send to The Pinex Co, Fl Wayne, Ind.

What Prohibition Means

A little boy stood by fence
One hot day in July;
His little head was full of sense,
His mouth was full of pie.
| asked him where to get drink,
Said he: "At mammals we'll;
This is Prohibition town."
Whats that" said I. "Pray tell"
He looked at me in great surprise;
Said he, why, don't you know?
It's Prohibition when we close
Saloons where drunkards grow"
