A THREE DAYS
COUGH IS YOUR
DANGER SIGNAL
Chronic coughs and persistent colds
lead to serious luag trouble. You can
stop them now with Creomulsion, an
emulsified creosote that is pleasant to
take. Creomulsion is a new medical
discovery with two-fold action; it
soothes and heals the inflamed mem
branes and kills the germ.
Of all known drugs creosote is "ec
ognized by the medical fraternity as
the greatest healing agency for the
treatment of chronic coughs and colds
and other forms of throat and lung
troubles. Creomulsion contains, in ad
dition to creosote, other healing ele
ments which soothe and heal the in
flamed membi'anes and stop the irri
tation and inflammation, while the
creosote goes on to the stomach, is
absorbed into the blood, attacks the
seat of the trouble and destroys the
germs that lead to consumption.
Creomulsion is guaranteed satisfac
tory in the treatment of chronic coughs
and colds, bronchial asthma, catarrhal
bronchitis and other forms of throat
and lung diseases, and is excellent for
building up the system after colds or
the flu. Money refunded if any cough
or cold, no matter of how long stand
ing, is not relieved after taking
according to directions. Ask your
drug-gist. . . .
