by the Legion and the 40 ct 8 and

Still Coughing?

No matter how many medicines
you have tried for your cough, chest
cold or bronchial irritation, you can
get relief now with Creomulsion.
Serious trouble may be brewing and
you cannot afford to take a chance
with anything less than Creomul-
sion, which goes right to the seat
of the trouble to aid nature to
soothe and heal the infiamed mem
branes as the germ-laden phlegm
is loosened and expelled.
Even if other remedies have
failed, don't be discouraged. your
druggist is authorized to guarantee
Creomulsion and to refund your
money if you are not satisfied with
results from the very first bottle.
Get Creomulsion right now. (Adv.)
