Coughs, Sore Throat,
Hoarseness and Inflam
mation of the Throat are
Immediately relieved by
REXALL
Cherry Juice
Cherry Juice will cure the most stub
born Cough, allay tickling sensations in
the throat, soothe sorethroat, overcome
difficulty in breathing, and will
strengthen and clear the voice.
A dry, spasmodic, hacking or croupy
cough is quickly transformed into a
moist or loose cough, which yields more
readily to the treatment, because nature
is assisted in throwing off the secretions
of mucus and phlegm.
Rexall Cherry Juice is very pleasant
to taste and is readily taken by children
who object to bad tasting cough medi
cines—and remember this, where you
buy a bottle of Rexall Cherry Juice
your money is only left on deposit.
If it fails to give satisfaction in any
way, yonr money is promptly refunded}
