For this reason mothers and others should lusist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure. No poison marks on Dr.Shoop's labels and none in the medicine, else it must by law be on the label. And it’s not only safe, but It ia said to be by those that know it best a truly remarkable cough remedy. Take no chance, particularly with your children. Insist on having Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure, Compare carefully the Dr. Shoop package with others and see. No poison marks there You can always be on the safe side by demanding Dr. Shoop’s Cough Cure.

Then try Dr. Seoop’s Health Coffee. “Health Coffee” Is a clever combination of parched cereala and nuta. Not a grain of real coffee, remember, in Dr. Shoop’s Health Coffee, yet its flavor and taste matches closely old Java and Mocha Coffee.
