MS there is in this simple home made
cough syrup, which is easily prepared
in few minutes.
Get from any druggist 21s ounces
OF Pinex, pour it into pint bottle
and fill the bottle with syrup, using
either plain graduated sugar syrup,
clarified mo1asses, honey, or corn
syrup, as desired. The result is q
full pint Of really better cough syrup
than Won could buy ready-madeH for
three times the money. Tastes pleas
ant and never spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation
gets right at the cause Of a cough and
gives almost immediate relief, IL
loosens the phlegm, stops the nasty
throat tickle and heals the sore, irri-
tated membranes SO gently and easily
that it is really astonishing.
A days use will usually overcome
the ordinary cough and for bronchitis,
Group, hoarseness and bronchial asth-
ma. there is nothing better.
Pinex is a most valuable concen-
trated compound of genuine Norway
pine extract, and has been used tor
generations to break severe coughs.
