Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine. cough syrups are combina-
tions of pine and syrup. The Syrup"
part is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough
remedy that money can buy, put III
ounces of Pinex in pint bottle, and
fill up with homemade sugar syrup.
Or you can use clarified moIasses,
honey, or corn syrup, instead of
sugar syrup. Either way, you make
a full pint-more than you can buy
ready-made for three times the
money. 1t is pure, good and tastes
very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of a
cough or cold in a way that means

hOarse and tight, or may be persist
