Pine Tar and Honey
Still Best for Chest
Colds and Coughs
Our mothers and grandmothers
would never be without pine tar
syrup in the house for coughs,
chest colds, etc. This was many
years ago, but modern medicine has
never been able to improve on this
time-tested remedy. Doctors say
the pine tar is hard to beat for
quickly loosening and removing the
phlegm and congestion that are the
actual cause of the cough. At the
same time pine tar and honey soon
soothe and heal all irritation and
soreness.
The kind that has been used with
never-falling success in thousands of
families for years is that known as Dr.
Bell’s Pine-Tar Honey. This is scien
tifically compounded of just the right ’
proportions of pine tar, honey and other ‘
fjuick-acting, healing Ingredients which
the best doctors have found to aid in
Quick relief. It contains absolutely no'
opiates, narcotics or harmful drugs, so
can be given to young children—fine for
spasmodic croup. It tastes good, too. If
you want the best, a medicine that often
Etops the severest cough overnight, be
