FOR BRONCHITIS, WHOOPlNG COUGH
GROUP, COUGHS AND COLDS
Make the Best Remedy at ome--12S Teaspoon for soc

If everything was sold in as liberal
and fair a manner as f. w Bucknam
is selling Schiffmanns New Concen-
trated Expectorant, absolutely no
cause for complaint or dissatisfac-
tion could possibly arise from any
one. This druggist says-"Buy a
bottle of this remedy and try it for
Bronchitis, Whooping Cough, Severe
Cough, Group or any Bronchial At
lection, and we will return your
money, just as we do with Schiff-
mann's famous Asthmador, if it does
not give satisfaction, or If not found
the best remedy ever used for any of
these complaints" Why not take ad-
vantage of this guarantee and try
this medicine and get your money
back, rather than buying another
purely on the exaggerated claims of
its manufacturer or on the strength
of testimonials from others and run
the chance of getting something
worthless and also wasting your
money?
