Mothers, Mix This
At Home for
a Bad Cough

You'll be pleasantly surprised when
you make up this simple home mixture
and try it for a distressing cough or
chest cold. 1t takes but a moment
to mix and costs little, but it can be
depended upon to give quick and last
ing relief.
Get 21S ounces of Pinex from any
druggist. Pour this into a pint bottle;
then fill it with plain granulated sugar
syrup or strained honey. The full pint
thus made costs no more than small
bottle Of ready-made medicine, yet it is
much more effective. It is pure, keeps
perfectly and children love its pleasant
taste.
This simple remedy has a remark
able three-fold action. 1t goes right to
the seat of trouble, lOOsens the germ
laden phlegm, and sOothes away the
inflammation. Part of the medicine is
absorbed into the blood, where it acts
directly upon the bronchial tubes and
thus helps inwardly to throw off the
whole trouble with surprising ease.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway Pine, con-
tanning the active agent of creOsote, in
a refined, palatable form, and known
as one of the greatest healing agents
for severe coughs, chest colds and brOn-
ehial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.
