They said to themselves, “The REM people know how to make a good cough medicine—I guess they know how to make something good for head colds, too.” And they guessed right! It's the same long years of experience back of REM that account for the great formula of REL Head Cold Jelly. REL the result of 137 different experiments! REL didn’t just happen. It started out with the big advantage of 49 years of pharmaceutical ex- perience of the makers of REM. Then a study was made of the good and bad points of existing rem- edies. There were many consulta- tions with distinguished physicians, pharmacists, chemists and phar- macologists.
