You might be. surprised to know
that the best thing you can use tor
a severe cough, is a remedy which
is easily prepared at home in Just
a few moments. It's cheap, but for
prompt results it beats anything else
you ever tried. Usually stops the
ordinary cough or chest cold in "a
hours. Tastes pleasant, too-children
like it-and it is pure and good.
Pour 21s ounces of Pinex in a
pint bottle; then fill it up with plain
graduated sugar syrup. Or use clari-
fed molasses, honey, or corn syrup,
instead of sugar syrup. If desired.
Thus you make full pint-a family
supply-but costing no more than a
small bottle of ready-made cough
syrup.
And as cough medicine, there is
really nothing better to be had at
any price. 1t goes right to the spot
and gives quick, lasting relief. 1t
promptly heals the intlamed MEM
branes that line the throat and air
passages, stops the annoying throat
tickle, ioosens the phlegm, and soon
your cough stops entirely. Splendid
for bronchitis, Group, hoarseness and
bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway pine extract,
famous for healing the membranes.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "21a ounces of Pinex"
with directions and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
