BEWARE THE
COUGH OR cold
THAT HANGS ON

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them
now with Creomulsion, an emulsified
creosote that is pleasant to take. Creo-
mulsion is a new medical discovery
with two-fold action; it seothes and
heals the in1amed membranes and in
hibits germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by high medical authorities as
one Of the greatest healing agencies for
persistent coughs and colds and other
forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion
contains, in addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop the
irritation and Inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is alb
sorbed into the blood, attacks the seat
of the trouble and checks the growth
of the germs.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac-
tory in the treatment of persistent
coughs and colds, bronchial asthma,
bronchitis and other forms of respira-
tory diseases, and is excellent for build
ing up the system after colds or flu.
Money refunded if any cough or cold is
not relieved after taking according to
directions. Ask your druggist. Creo-
