This HOne-M0de Cough
Syrup UiH Surprise You
Costs Little, but there is NOths
ing Better at any Price.
Fully Guaranteed.

Here is a homemade remedy that
takes hold OF cough almost instantly,
and will usually conquer an ordinary
cough in "a hours This recipe makes a
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
". pint OF warm water, and stir 2
minutes. Put 215 ounces of Pinex fifty
cents, WORTH in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. This keeps perfectly
and has 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 bronchial asthma,
bronchitis, spasmodic Group and whoop-
ing cough. PineX is a most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway
white pine extract, rich in guaiacol and
other natural healing pine elements.
Other preparations will not work in
this combination.
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 preparation. Your druggist has
Pinex or will get it for you. If not,
send to The Pincx Co., TT. Wayne, Ind.
