QUICK! STOP THAT COLD IN THE DRY OR FIRST STAGE!

A cold ordinarily goes through three stages: The Dry Stage, the first 24 hours; the Water Secretion Stage, from 1 to 3 days; and the Mucous Secretion Stage.

It is expressly a cold remedy and not a ‘cure-all.” It is internal treatment which a cold requires. It is complete in effect. It does the four things necessary. First, it opens the bowels.
