Hoav to Make the Best
Cough Remedy at Home
AYamily supply at Small Cost,
and Fully Guaranteed.

Make a plain syrup BY mixing one
pint of granulated sugar and n pint OF
warm water and stir for g minutes.
Put 21a ounces OF pure Pinex fifty
cents WORTH in pint bottle, and f! it
up with the Sugar Syrup. This gives
YOU family Alpply Of the best cough
syrup at saving of 50. 1t never spoils.
Take teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
The effectiveness Of this simple remedy
is surprising. It seems to take hold al
most instantly, and will usually con-
quer an ordinary cough in "a hours.
It tones up the faded appetite and is
lust laxative enough to be helpful in
q cough, and has q pleasing taste.
Also excellent for bronchial trouble,
bronchial asthma, whooping cough and
spasmodic Group.
This method Of making cough remedy
with Pinex and Sugar Syrup Tor
strained honey is now used in more
homes than any other cough syrup.
This explains why it is often initiated,
though never successfully. If you try
it, use only genuine Pinex, which is a
most valuable concentrated compound
of Norway white pine extract, and is
rich in guaiacol and other natural
healing pine elements. Other prepare
tons will not work in this combination.
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 Pine1 Co., Fl Wayne, Ind.
