''MOIST THROAT"
FOUND SECRET I
Of COUGH RELIEF

Your throat and bronchial tubes are
lined with millions Of pores like tiny
bottles continually supplying moisture
to the delicate tissues until yo1G

Then these "bottles" get plugged up,
phlegm accumulates, affording danger.
Gus germs breeding place. Your throat
feels hot and dry. Tickling, irritation
and coughing set in.
Your cough will be cured only when
the flow of the natural fluid is increased,
loosening the phlegm so that it can
be expelled. Many cough remedies"
contain numbing drugs which merely
deaden the nerves but don't get at
the root of the trouble.
PERTUSSIN, a scientific remedy,
which doctors have prescribed for
many years, is the extract of a famous
herb which opens the tiny glands,
stimulates the flow of the throat's
natural moisture and brings quick re-
lief. It helps nature heal that
cough from the inside out.
