One Minute Cough Cure gives
immediate re'ief in all cases of
Cough, Croup and LaQrippe because
it does not pass immediately
into the stomach, but takes
?fTect right at the seat of the

heals and soothes and
iures permantly by enabling the
lungs to contribute pure life giving
and life-sustaining oxygen to
the blood and tissues. Dr. Armstrong
of Delia, Tex., prescribes
it daily and says there is no better
