mans father called up and request
ed that license be refused the couple,

immediate relief, usually stopping an
ordinary cough in p hours or less.
Get 2ia ounces of Pinex from any
druggist, pour it into A pint bottle,
and add plain granulated sugar syrup
to make full pint. If you prefer,
use clarified m0lasses, honey, or corn
syrup, Instead of sugar syrup. Either
way. it tastes good, keeps perfectly,
and lasts a family a long time.
It's truly astonishing how quickly
1t acts, penetrating through every air
passage of the throat and lungs

ness or bronchial asthma.
flnex IS a special and highly con-
eentrated compound of genuine Nor

accept anything else. Guaranteed to
