Best Remedy for
Cough Is Easily
Mixed at Home

You'll never know how quickly
stubborn cough or chest cold can be
conquered, until you try this famous
recipe. 1t is used in millions of homes,
because it gives more prompt, positive
relief than anything else. It's no trou.
BILE at all to mix and costs but a trifle.
Into a pint bottle, pour Pa ounces
of Pinex; then add plain granulated
sugar syrup or strained honey to make
q full pint. This saves two-thirds Of
the money usually spent for cough
medicine, and gives you a purer, better
remedy. 1t never spoils, and tastes
good-children like it.
You can actually feel its penetrat-
ing, soothing action on the infamed
throat membranes. It is also absorbed
into the blood, where it acts directly
on the bronchial tubes. At the same
time, it promptly loosens the germ laden
phlegm. This three-fold action explains
why it brings such quick relief even IN
severe bronchial coughs which follow
cold epidemics.
Pinex is 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
bronchial troubles.
Do not accept a substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
or money refunded.
