How 70 Break Up
A Bad Cough

People whose winter colds still hang
on developing into settled cough that
nothing seems to shake off, can often
find complete relief by taking a little
OXidaze four or five times daily. Two
or three days of this treatment ought to
effectively break up even a most per-
sistent cough and many a serious. pos
sibly fatal case of lung trouble can
easily be prevented in this way.
Oxidaze is the prescription of Dr. Eu-
gene Howard, of Worcester, Mass and
is a pleasant. powerful combination Of
antiseptic healing agents that. ming
ling with the saliva, reach and heal
every inch of the sore. inflamed mem
brane. AS a treatment for Bronchial
Asthma and the various affections of
the throat and lungs ii has met with
widespread success throughout New
England and many remarkable recov-
cries are credited TO its use. OXidaze
contains no habit-forminS drugs, is
easy and pleasant to take, not at all
expensive and Furthermore @. A Cor
gas and leading druggists everywhere
are authorized by the American OXi-
daze Co. Worcester, Mass, to return the
full purchase price of the first package
in any case where its use for one full
week does not relieve a cough or cold.
If you have a bad cough get pack

ject to this money-back guarantee ana
