A pint of yranulated sugar with 1% pint of warm water, stirred for 2 mi 2 minutes, gives you 25 good syrup as money can buy. Then get from your druggist 214 ounces Pinex (50 ecents worth), pour into a pint bottle and fill the bottle with sugar syrup. This gives you, at a cost of only 54 cents, a full pint of really better cough syrup than you eould buy ready made for ¥2.50—a clear saving of nearly $2. Full directions with Pinex. It keeps perfectly and tastes good. Tt takes hold of the usual cough or chest cold at once and conquers it in 24 hours, Splendid for whooping cough, bronchitis and winter coughs. It’s truly astonishing how quickly it loosens the dry, hoarse or tight cough and heals and 8oothes the inflamed mem- branes in the case of a painful cough. It also stops the formation of phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes, thus end- Afng the persistent logse cough. Pinex is a highly concentrated com- pound of genuine Norway pine extract, combined with guaiacol, and has been nsed for generations to heal inflamed membranes of the throat and chest. To avoid disappointment, ask your ruggist for “215 ounces of Pinex,” and yn't accept anvihing else. A guarantee of absolute satisfaction, or money prompt- Iy ‘refunded, goes with this preparatiom.
