Make Your OlD1 Cough
Syrup and SaUe Money
Better than tho ready-fnado kind
Easiiy prepared ~ home.
le<AN%H~%H~>4ee%A~eee%eA,

1he finest cough syrup that money
can buy, costing only about one-ffth as
much as readY-made preparations, can
easily be made up at home. The way il
takes hold and conouers distressing
coughs, throat and chest colds will
really make you enthusiastic about IL.
ANY druggist can supply you WITH
2i5 ounces of Pinex. $50 cents worthl 4.
Pour this into a pint bottle and I'LL
the bottle with plain granulated sugar
syrup. Shake thoroughly and it is
ready for use. The total cost is about
05 cents and gives you a full pint-a
family supply-of a most effcctual,
pleasant tasting remedy. 1t keeps per-
fectly.
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs-loosen5
and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals
the intamed or swollen throat mem
branes, and gradually but surely the
annoying throat tickle and dreaded
cough will disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, epasmodic Group,
WhOOping cough OF bronchial asthma.
Pinex Is a special and highly concen-
lrated compound Of genuine Norway
pina extract, and is known the world
over for its prompt healing effect on tho
throat membranes.
Avoid disappointment by asking your
druggist for "21a ounces OF Pinex" with
full directions and don't accept any
thing else. A guarantee OF absolute sat
isfaction or money promptly refunded,
goes with this preparation. The Pinex
