Night Coughing
Stopped Quickly By
Simple Treatment
Thousands who are troubled with
persistent coughing at night, which
by robbing them of valuable sleep
weakens their systems and lays
them open to dangerous infections,
can quickly act to prevent this dan
ger through a very simple treat
ment People who have hardly been
able to rest at all on account of
coughing spells have found they can
sleep the whole night through un
disturbed often the first time they
The treatment is based on a re
markable prescription known as Dr.
King’s New Discovery for Coughs.
You simply take a teaspoonful at
night before retiring, and hold it in
your throat for 15 or 20 seconds be
fore swallowing it, without follow
ing with water. The prescription
has a double action. It not only
soothes and heals soreness and irri
tation, but it quickly loosens and
removes the phlegm and congestion
which are the direct cause of the
coughing. The result is you usually
sleep soundly the very first night,
and the entire cough condition goes
in a very short time.
The prescription is highly recom
mended for coughs, chest colds,
hoarseness, and bronchitis, and is
wonderful for children’s coughs and
spasmodic croup—no harmful drugs.
Economical, too, as the dose is only
one teaspoonful. At all good drug
gists. Ask for
