For no body knows where a cough may lead. Creomulsion combines seven major helps in one. Some coughs yield best to one help, some to another. Doctors often differ on the best help, for coughs are not alike. So here we combine all the best to be sure. Crcosore stands first. Here it is blended, emulsified and made palata ble. For soothing membranes and combating germs, it is considered the supreme help in this type of cough.

For it is far more economical and pleasant to keep a child well by feeding- him correctly than by nursing and doctoring him back to health. Of course the doctor should be consulted regarding what a child should eat and what he should not eat. But do you realize that the leading manufacturers of food now seek the advice and 'approval of the leading nutritional authorities in the country, relative to the claims they make for their products in their adver tising? In other words, food, advertisements are reliable sources of information regarding diet. They are based upon the results of the latest approved scienti fic discoveries about vitamins, minerals and rough age, in relation to vigorous bodies, clear complexions, sound teeth and properly regulated systems. So read these advertisements carefully. Consult your doctor about them. Very often the advertiser invites you to do this because he has asked authorities, whom your doctor respects, about those advertise ments first. ' i
