In thousands of families it has
been the custom@for many years to
keep pine tar and honey always on
hand for coughs, chest colds, bron-

irritations. Our mothers knew that
it was good, that it often broke up
the worst cough in "a hours, and
that it could be given to young and
old alike, as 1T contains no mar
cotics or harmful drugs.
And now we are told that in spite
of modern medical discoveries there
is still no better or quicker cough
remedy. Doctors say the pine tar
quickly 1oosens and removes the
phlegm and congestion that cdHSe the
coughing, also healing soreness.
while the honey not only gives a
pleasant taste, but helps soothe irri-
tation.
