For Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis, Try

Countless grave sicknesses are rec ognized by the medical profession as having their direct or indirect cause in a neglected cold or cough. Kerr's flax seed emulsion, Linonine, is most helpful. Medicine knows no surer healing agent for the inflamed mu- cous membranes of nose, throat and lung passages. Thus while Linonine is removing colds coughs and bron- chltis it is also natures chief aid in restoring vitality.
