You take jit one teaspoonful at night before retir ing and hold it in your throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swallowing it. The prescription has a double action. It not only soothes and heals soreness and irritation, but it quickly removes the ^ phlegm and congestion which are the 7 direct ccKse of night coughing. So the coughing stops quickly and you sleen all night undisturbed. Dr. King’s New Discovery is for coughs,chest colds, sore throat, hoarse ness, bronchitis, spasmodic croup, etc. Fine for children as well as grown up*—no harmful drugs.
