Famous Old Recipe
for Cough Syrup
Easily and chc.bty made at home.
but IL beats them all for
quick results.

Thousands OF housewives have found
that they can save two-thIrdS OF inc
money usually spent for cough pTepaia-
tions, by using the well-known old reclpee
for making cough syrup At home. lt
ia simnle and cheap but il has no equal
for PROMPT results. 1t takes right hold
Of cough and gives immediate rslel'
usually stopping an ordinary cough IN
"a hours or less.
Get ~. ounces of PireS from any
DRUGGIST, pour it into pint bottle and
add plain graduated sugar syrup to
make q full pint. ii you prefer, use
clarified molasscs, honey, or corn syrup,
instead OF sugar syrup. Either way, IL
tastes coed, keeps perfectly, and lasts
a family long time. -, .,
It's truly astonishing how quickly it
acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lunes--loos.,
ems and raises the phlegm, soothes and
heals the mem branes, and gradually but
surely the annoying throat tickle and
dreaded cough disappear entirely. Nothing
better for bronchitis, spasmodic Group,
hoarscness or bronchial asthma.

trated compound OF genuine Norway

its healing effect on the membranes.
