Guard YOUR FAMILY

Krew.Pina is Best

The "sick season" is here. Colds,
coughs, Group, bronchial troubles and

dreaded unless one is prepared for
the quick but dangerous attacks of
these diseases that follow exposure to
rough weather, draughts and ever
changing temperature. You can't pre-.
vent these attacks. but if you hava
Krew-Pina in the house, you can get
speedy relief from them. Prepare
yourself in advance by having a 90
cent jar of this wonderful household
remedy in your medicine chest, and
use it on the first symptoms of the at
tack. Krew.Pina is preparation COM
bining the best of the old standard in.

tain the most efficient results, and yet
which does not have the disagreeable
and sometimes even dangerous after
effects that frequently follow the use
of strong mustard poultices and lini
ments that blister, leaving the skin
tender and making the patient catch
cold easier than before. Krew-Pina
cannot blister the tenderest skin of an
infant. and there is no more efficient
remedy known. Martins drug store
and the Mountain City drug store sell
this remedy in 25-cent Jars, and are au.
thorized by the manufacturers to give
