To End a Cough In a Hurry, Mix This at Home

To end a stubborn cough quickly, it is important to soothe and Leal the inflamed membranes, get rid of the germs and also to aid the system inwardly to help throw off the trouble. For these purposes, here is a homemade medicine, far better than anything you could buy at 3 times the cost. From any druggist, get 2% ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a pint bottle, and add plain granulated sugar syrup orstrained honey to fill up the pint. This takes but a moment, and makes a remedy so effective that you will never do without, once you have used it. Keeps perfectly, and children like it. This simple remedy does three necessary things. First, it loosens the germladen phlegm. Second, it soothes away the inflammation. Third, it is absorbed into the blood, where it acts directly on the bronchial tubes. This explains why it brings such quick relief, even in the obstinate bronchial coughs which follow cold epidemics. PLaex is a highly concentrated compound of genuine Norway Pine, containing the active agent of creosote, in a refined, palatable form, and known ■s one of the greatest healing agents for severe coughs, chest colds and bronchial troubles. Do not accept a substitute for Pine*. It is guaranteed to give prompt relief or money refunded.
