Easily nd cheaply propared. Sl You'll never know how quickly a bad cough can be conquered until you try this famous old home-made rem- edy. Any one who has coughed all day and all night, will say that the immediate relief given is almost like magic. It is very easily prepared, and there is nothing better for coughs. Into a pint bottle, put 2 ounces of Pinex; then add plain granulated sugar sirup to make a full pint. Or you can use clarified molasses, honey, corn sirup, instead of sugar sirup. ither way, the full pint saves about two-thirds of the money usually spent for coughepreparations, and gives you a more positive, effective remedy. It keeps perfectly, and tastes pleasant— children like it. You can feel this take hold instantly, soothing and healing the membranes in all the air pussages. It promptly loosens a dry, tight cough, and soon you will notice the phlegm thin out and disappear.

Pinex a most valuable concen- trated compound of genuine Norwa pine extract, the most reliable* rem- edy for throat and chest ailments. To aveid disappointment, ask your druggist for “21, ounces of Pinex” with directions, and don't accept any thing else. Guaranteed to give absc lute i on _or money refunded. and You 710—12th St. N. W.
