How to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
Has no equal for prompt results.

Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy. put 2Ns ounces
of Pinex in a pint bottle, and Till up
with home made sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup. instead of sugar syrup.
Either way. YOU make q full pint
more than Won can buy ready made
for three times the money. 1t IS
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold OF
cough or cold in way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight. OF may be psrsist..
emily loose from the formation OF
phlegm. The cause is the same-in-
famed membranes-and this Pinex
and SSrhp combination will stop it
usually in "a hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.

for its prompt effect upon coughs.
