Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

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 chance
with any remedy less potent than
Creomulsion, which goes right to
the seat Of the trouble and aids ma
ture to Soothe and heal the inhamed
mucous membranes and to loosen
and expel the germ-laden phlegm.
Even If other remedies have failed,
don't be discouraged, try Creomul-
sion. Your druggist is authorized to
refund your money if you are not
thoroughly satisfied with the bene-
fits obtained from the very first
bottle. Creomulsion Is one word-not
two, and it has no hyphen in it.
Ask for it plainly, see that the name
on the bottle Is Creomulsion, and
you'll get the genuine product and
the relief you want.
