To Promptly Relieve Coughing
and Make Breathing Easier

Az the first signs which may warn OF a
cold - the Dionne Quintuplets' chests,
.throats and backs are rubbed with
Musterole- product made especially
to prom pity relieve coughs and sore throat
due TO colds, to make breathing easier
and break up local congestion in the
upper bronchial tract. -
Musterole brings such wonderful relief
because it's MORE than Just an ordi-
nary ''salve." It's what so many Doctors
and Nurses call a modern counter
,rritdnt. Since Musterole is used on the
Quints-you can be sure it's Just about
the BEST cold-relief you can buy!
IN 3 STRENGTHS: Children's Mild
Musterole for children and people with

and Extra Strong for stubborn cases.
