You can stop them now with Creomulsion, an emulsified creosote that is pleasant to take. Creomulsion is a new medical discovery with two-fold ac- tion; it soothes and heals the inflamed membranes and inhibits germ growth. Of all known drugs, creosote is recog- nized by high medical authorities as one of the greatest healing agencies for per- sistent coughs and colds and other forms of throat troubles. Creomulsion contains, in addition to creosote, other healing ele- ‘ments which soothe and heal the infected CREOM membranes and stop the irritation and inflanmation, while the creosote goes on to the stomach, is absorbed into the blood, attacks the seat of the trouble and checks the growth of the germs. Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac- tory in the treatment of persistent coughs and colds, bronchial asthma, bronchitis and other forms of respira- tory diseases, and is excellent for building up the system after colds or flu. Money refunded if any cough or cold, no matter of how long standing, is not relieved after taking according to directions. Ask your druggist. (adv.)
