The Best Cough Syrup
Is Homemade
Here's an easy way to save SO, and
yet have the best cough remedy
you ever tried.

S'"s''s''s'>s''~'sSsSSsc'>s9>ss
You've probably heard of this
well known plan of making cough
syrup at home. But have you ever
used it? When you do, you will
understand why thousands of fami-
lies, the world over, feel that they
could hardly keep house without it.
It's simple and cheap, but the way
it takes hold of cough will quickly
earn it a permanent place in your
home.
Into a pint bottle, pour ~ ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified moIasses,
honey or corn syrup instead of
sugar syrup. Either way. it tastes
good, never spoils, and gives you a
full pint of better cough remedy
than you could buy ready-made for
three times its cost
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers a
cough-usually in "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loOsens a dry, hoarse
or tight cough, lifts the ph1egm,
heals the membranes and gives al
most immediate relief. Splendid for
throat tickle, hoarseness, Group,
bronchitis and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine
extract, and has been used for gem
erations for throat and chest all
ments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2Ih ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept
anything else. Guaranteed to- give
absolute satisfaction or money re-
funded. The Pinex Co, Fl Wayne,
