Medicine Proved Worth
During Epidemic.
"Sedituss Cough Balsam" Most
Effective in Combating Flu.

The medicine which proved most
effective in the recent "fu" epidemic
is a product of Atlantic City and is
known as "Sedituss Cough Balsam."
1t was used extensively, with wonder
full results. 1t is pleasant to take, and
is very good for children. 1t is valua-
BILE as a sedatiye in affections Of the
throat, relieving obstinate coughs by
promoting expectoration, and serving
as a calmative in bronchial irritation.
For coughs, colds, bronchitis, in1uen-
"a, loss of voice, hoarseness and huski-
ness, it has absolutely no superior.
The genuine "Sedituss Cough Balsam"
may be secured in t~hree-ounce bottles
for 35 cents at the Arctic Drug Shop,
1929 Arctic Avenue, Atlantic City. Be
sure to get the genuine; accept no
substitute, adv.
