How to Cure a Cough
A cough is really one of our best friends. It warns us that there is inflammation or obstruction in a dangerous place. Therefore, when you get a bad cough don't proceed to dose yourself with a lot of drugs, that merely "stop" the cough temporarily by deadening the throat nerves. Treat the cause - heal the inflamed membranes. Here is a home-made remedy that gets right at the cause and will make an obstinate cough vanish more quickly than you ever thought possible.
Put 2 ½ ounces of Pinex (50 cents' worth) in a pint bottle and fill the bottle with plain granulated sugar syrup. This gives you a full pint of the most pleasant and effective cough remedy you ever used, at a cost of only 54 cents. No bother to prepare. Full directions with Pinex.
It heals the inflamed membranes so gently and promptly that you wonder how it does it. Also loosens a dry, hoarse or tight cough and stops the formation of phlegm in the throat and bronchial tubes, thus ending the persistent loose cough.
Pinex is a highly concentrated compound of Norway pine extract, rich in guaiacol, and is famous the world over for its healing effect on the membranes.
To avoid disappointment, ask your druggist for "2 ½ ounces of Pinex," and don't accept anything else. A guarantee of absolute satisfaction, of money promptly refunded, goes with this preparation. The Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.
