liefore Hie A. E. 0. was formed, publications were badly handicapped in telling their ad

been worked out, in a way which was generally acceptable. Furthermore, the terms employ

The A. B. C.'s first and greatest contribution to both advertiser nnd publisher was to de
fine terms and lo devise, standard methods of reporting the facts about circulations. From
year to year, the processes of clarifying terms nnd of perfecting the semi-auniial publisher's
sl.-ilcnicnls nnd (be annual A. B. C. audit reports have gone on.

BEWARE THE COUGH FROM
COLDS THAT HANG ON
Coughs from colds may lead lo se
rious trouble. You can stop them
now with CrcomuUion, an emulsified
creosote that is pleasant to take.
Creotnulsion is a medical discovery
Kith two-fold action; it soothes and
heals the inflamed membranes and in
hibits germ growth.
Of all known drugs creosote is rec
ognized by high medical authorities
as one of the greatest healing agencies
for coughs from colds and bronchial
irritations. CrcomuUion contains, in
addition to creosote, other healing
elements which soothe and henl the
inflamed membranes and stop the ir
ritation, while the creosote goes on to
tlie stomach, is absorbed into the
blood, attacks the seat of tho trouble
and checks the growth of the germs.
Crcomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of coughs from
colds, bronchitis and minor forms of
bronchial irritations, and is excellent
for building up the system after colds
or flu. Money refunded if not re
lieved after taking according to direc
tions. Ask your druggist, (adv.;
