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 y Mr Wm Newberr , a prosper i- tins Baker county citizen, sp nt .’ ; Moi,i|ay here.
