Famous Old Recipe
 for Cough Syrup
Easily and cheaply made at home, Al but 1t beats them all for
 quick results.


 Thousands of housewives have found that they can save two-thirds of the money usually spent for cough preparations,, by using this we'll known old recipe for making cough syrup. It is simple and cheap but it has no equal for prompt results. It takes right hold of a cough and gives immediate relief, usually stopping an ordinary cough in 24 hours or less.
 Get 2Is ounces of Pinex from any druggist, pour it into pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup to make full pint. If you prefer, use clarified molasses, honey, or corn s,eyrup, instead of sugar syrup. Either way. it tastes good, keeps perfectly, and lasts family long time.
 It's truly astonishing how quickly it acts, penetrating through every air passage of the throat and lungs loosens and raises the phlegm, soothes and heals the membranes, and gradually but surely the annoying $ throat tickle and dreaded cough dis appear entirely. Nothing better for bronchitis, spasmodic croup, hoarse- ness or bronchial asthma.
 Pinex is special and highly con. centrated compound of genuine Nor way pine extract known the world over for it's healing effect on membranes.
 Avoid disappointment by asking your druggist. for "2Hs ounces of Pinex" with full directions and don't accept anything else. Guaranteed to give absolute satisfaction or money promptly refunded. The Pinex Co.,, Ft. Wayne. Ind.
