Beware Coughs
from common colds
That Hang On

Chronic bronchitis may develop II
your cough, chest cold, or acute bron-
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take chance with anymedi-
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, infamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote by special 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-
hitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.)
