What A Cough!
And bow it hurts, and nags
And disturbs your sleep.
Chronic bronchitis may develop if
vour cough, chest cold, or acute bron
chitis is not treated and you cannot
afford to take a chance with any medi
cine less potent than Creomulsion
which goes right to the seat of the
trouble to help loosen and expel germ
laden phlegm and aid nature to
soothe and heal raw, tender, inflamed
bronchial mucous membranes.
Creomulsion blends beechwood
creosote by special processwith other
time tested medicines for coughs.
It contains no narcotics.
No matter how many medicines
you have tried, tell your druggist to
sell you a bottle of Creomulsion with
the understanding you must like the
way it quickly allays the cough, per
mitting rest and sleep, or you are to
have your money back. (Adv.) !
000, Carolina Beach, $12,000 and
Wrightaville, $8,000.
MacMillan would make no pre
dictions as to the date of the ABC
board’s next remittance to the
city.
The checks marked the first dis
tribution of profits the ABC board
has made to the local government
agencies so far this fiscal year.
The city has written into its
budget expectations of receiving
$300,000 in ABC revenue this yea
as against $320,000 in 1945-46. The
AEC board owed the city $99,000
at the begining of the fiscal year.
The county budget anticipates
$135,000 in ABC revenue this year,
while Carolina Beach expects $20
000. Wrightsvllle Beach’s antici
pated ABC revenue is $7,500, a sum
which the board met with its check
yesterday.
