How 20 Have the Best Cough
Remedy and Save 81 by
Making Ii at home

Cough medicines, as a rule contain a
large quantity of plain syrup. A pint of
granulated sugar with p pint of warm
water, stirred for 2 minutes, gives you
as good syrup as money can buy.
Then get from your druggist 21a ounces
Pinex $50 cents WORTH pour into a pint
bottle and fill the bottle with sugar
syrup. This gives you, at cost of only
81 cents. a full pint of really better cough
syrup than you could buy ready made for
s.. 50-a clear saving of nearly So. Full
directions with Pinex. 1t keeps perfectly
and tastes good.
1t takes hold of the usual cough or
chest cold at once and oonquers it in "a
hours. Splendid for whooping cough,
bronchitis and winter coughs.
It's truly astonishing how quickly il
loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough
and heals and sOothes the infiamed mem
branes in the case of a painful cough.
1t also stops the formation OF phlegm IN
the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end
ing the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine extract
combined with guaiacol. and has beer
used for generations to heal lntiameo
membranes of the throat and chest.
To avoid disappointment, ask your
druggist for "21a ounces of Pinex," anC
don't accept anything else. A guarantee
of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt
" refunded, goes with this preparation
