SORE THROAT?
DON'T GARGLE
This Doctors Prescription Gives
Quicker, Better Relief

Don't suffer the pain and discom-
fort of sore throat. Use a doctors
prescription called Thoxine guaran-
teed to relieve with the very first
swallow. Gargles and salves are too
slow and If they do relieve, 1t is US
ually only temporary.
Thoxine has a double action-it re-
lieves the soreness and goes direct
to the internal cause. It contains
no harmful drugs and is safe and
pleasant for the whole family. There
is nothing better to stop coughing
due to irritated throats. Just ask for
Thoxine, put up ready for use in S5c,
60c and $1.0O bottles. Money back If
not relieved. Sold by Pettyjohn's and
all other good drug stores. adv
