Colds can be ABORTED (with lemon juice) Don’t waste time with cold remedies that only relieve a cold. If you want to end your cold, abort it. The lemon Juice treatment will do it. Squeeze two full-size lemons in a large glass of very hot water and drink without sugar. First, take three tablets of Pape’s cold compound an hour apart. This clears the head, dries the nasal passages, reducees any fever. The lemon juice then drives all cold symptoms right out of the system. Bedtime is best. This treatment will abort the worst cold, overnight. One cold compoufid tablet will check a cold at any time, for several hours; then when night comes you can get rid of it by abortion. Any druggist has Pape’s cold compound. It’s perfectly safe. Try it, and you'll never go lck to halfray remedies,—Advertisement,
