Doctors Give Creosote
For Chest Colds
For many years our best doctors
have prescribed creosote in some fo*’m
for coughs, colds and bronchitis,
knowing how dangerous it is to let
them hang on.
Creomulsion with creosote and six
other highly important medicinal ele
ments, quickly and effectively stops
coughs and colds that otherwise
might lead to serious trouble.
Creomulsion is powerful in the
treatment of colds and coughs, yet It
is absolutely harmless and is pleasant
and easy to take.
Your own druggist guarantees Creo
mulsion by refunding your money if
you are not relieved’after taking Creoi
mulsion as directed. Beware the cough
or cold that hangs on. Always keep
Creomulsion on hand for instant use.
