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 due
to a cold. It takes but a moment to
mix, costs little, and saves money, but
it can be depended upon to give quick
and lasting relief.
Get 212 ounces of Pinex from any
druggist. Pour this into pint bottle;
then fill it with plain graduated 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 1t 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 on the
whole trouble with surprising ease.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound of Norway Pine, containing the
active agent of creosote, in a refined,
palatable form, and known as one of
the greatest medicinal agents for severe
coughs and bronchial irritations.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.
