You know tlinfc pine is used in !
nearly all prescriptions and remedies j
j for COUgIIS. The reason is that pine
j contains several peculiar elements that j
. have a remarkable effect in soothing ■
and healing the membranes of the ,
I throat and chest.
l'ine cough syrups are combinations i.
I of piue and syrup. The "syrup" part .
is usually plain sugar syrup.
J To make tlie beat pine cougli remedy :
j that money can buy, put 2'A ounces 1
I of Pincx in a pint Dottle, aifd till up
with horde-made sugar syrup. Or you
can use clarified molasses, honey, or
eorn syrup, instead of " sugar syrtiD.
Either way, you make a full pint— -lore
i than you can buy ready-made for three
j times tlie money. It ,is pure, good
J and very pleasant—children like it.
You can feel this take hold of a
I cough or cold in a way that- means
I business. Tlie cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or mav lie persist- j:
! eritly loose from tho formation of
phlegm. The cause is the samo-r-in
ilamcd mcuihranes —and this Pincx j :
an/1 Syrup combination will stop it— j
usually in 24 hours or less. iSplondidv I
too, for bronchial asthma, hoarseness, I
or any ordinary throat ailment.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com
pound of genuine Norway pine extract,
and is famous the world over for its
prompt effect upon coughs.
I Beware of substitutes. Ask your :
• druggist for "2V> ounces of Pinex"
| with directions, and don't accept any- '
I thing else. Guaranteed to give ahso- j'
i lute satisfaction or money refunded, |
Tho Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.
Balsam. It isn't disagreeable,
and you depend upon it to
give quick relief. It's guaran- |
teed. l*vo used it for years and
' always keep a bottle on hand."
