A - three-day '-cough is a danger signal. There thc utmost should be done. But a trifling cough may develop in to something deep and difficult. Don't you think it wise to use the utmost help, even if a lesser help might do? Creomulsion combines seven major helps in one. Thc seven best helps known to medical science. One is best for ono typo of cough, one for others. Nobody can tell in advance. So the best way seems to be to com bine ell in one prescription. CrcosQto stands first. Here it is blended, emulsified and tasty. For sooth ing membranes and combating cold germsphe world knows nothing better. Bat soaio coughs best yield to . white pine tar, some to wild cherry;, bark, some to menthol, some to ipecac,., etc. So we combine all these fucto;. at their best in a single formula. For some coughs Creomulsion ifl; better than you need. Ono of its . factors might do. But don't you feel safer when a minor cough is treated in thc utmost way? If so, get Creomulsion. It costs a little more than lesser helps. But -, your druggist guarantees it. He re turns your money if you are disap- pointed. You will feel safer in any S cough if this master help combats it.,!
