its cost.

air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough, hits the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost i'm
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.
Plnex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and has been used for genera
tions for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2H ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.
