you ever tried.

You've probably heard of this WELL
known plan of making cough syrup
at home. But have you ever used
itf Thousands of families, the world
over, feel that they could hardly keep
house without it. It's simple and
cheap, but the way it takes hold of a
cough will soon earn it a permanent
place in your home.
Into pint bottle, pour 21s ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup to fill up the pint. Or,
if desired, use clarified moIasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of sugar
syrup. Either way, it tastes good,
never spoils, and gives you full pint
of better cough remedy than you
could buy ready made for three times
its cost.
1t is really wonderful how quickly
this homemade remedy conquers o
cough-usually in "a hours or less.
1t seems to penetrate through every
air passage, loosens a dry, hoarse or
tight cough. lifts the phlegm, heals
the membranes, and gives almost i'm.
mediate relief. Splendid for throat
tickle, hoarseness, Group, bronchitis
and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is highly concentrated com.

tract, and has been used for genera.
tons for throat and chest ailments.
To avoid disappointment ask your
druggist for "2lh ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.
