Be Quick To Treat

Chronic bronchitis may develop If

afford to take a chance with anymedi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ

bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote byspecial process with other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per-
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
