Tells How to End
Night Coughing
To quickly stop hacking, irritat
ing coughing at night, a very sim>*
pie treatment may be had that
often enables you to sleep the whole
night through undisturbed almost
at once.
The treatment is based on a re
markable prescription known as
Dr. King’s New Discovery for
Coughs. You simply take a tea-
spoonful at night before retiring,
and hold it in your throat for 15
or 20 seconds before swallowing it,
without following with water. The
prescription has a double action.
It not only soothes and relieves ir
ritation and soreness, but it quick
ly loosens and removes the phlegm
and congestion which are the direct
cause of the coughing. So no mat
ter whether your cough is dry and
tight, or loose with much mucus,
the coughing soon stops, you can
usually sleep your accustomed tim«
without a break, and the whole
cough condition goes in a very short
time.
The prescription contain* absolutely
no narcotics or other harmful diUKS.
Instead of merely benumbing the
nerves, it actually helps the system
to throw off the trouble in u perfectly
natural way. Furthermore. It Is very
Economical, the dose belnK only one
teaspoonfui. It is hiRhly recom
mended for coughs, chest colds, tick-*
ling, hoarseness and bronchitis, and ia
wonderful for children's coughs and
spasmodic croup. On salo at all good
druggists. Ask for
